We were looking for what was the best way to translate the integration of refugees in Spain. And we thought, football is a big thing for Spanish people. - @carlosdevega about #TheNewArrivals at #TrueStories18

As you know, #journalism has something to do with reality, but also with wild dreams. On this project we were day dreamers, met in Madrid two years ago, discussed the project and started dreaming. - @SergeMichel_LM about #TheNewArrivals #TrueStories18

When you’re trying to find a subject to tell the story of journey and arrival you’re looking for tension. So we were faced with a difficult choice. - @markriceoxley69 #TrueStories18 #TheNewArrivals

@EricKarstens @ejcnet So we thought, let’s do something that combines perspectives from various European countries. - @EricKarstens from @ejcnet at #TrueStories18

[True Stories @TrueStoriesEU]

We wanted to do reporting that goes cross borders, cause we are the European Journalism Center. Everything that we have done in the past years is European and worldwide focused. - @EricKarstens from @ejcnet about #TheNewArrivals project at #TrueStories18

One of the lessons learned through this project is to think big, but just start small. Just start the project. @yvonnebrandwijk about @FutCity #TrueStories18

[True Stories @TrueStoriesEU]

I come from a traditional photography background, Stephanie from a traditional news writing, but together we had to find a new language to tell the best story. Not to show my best photo, but to see what format tells the best the story. @yvonnebrandwijk #TrueStories18

"We found out that you can't do a multimedia project like ours by yourself, you need a whole team" - @yvonnebrandwijk & @stephbakker76 on their project @FutCity at the #TrueStories18 conference

[True Stories @TrueStoriesEU]

"Video is not a new format, but it's something that newspapers - originally in paper format - are still getting used to" @Ecostard on online storytelling at #TrueStories18

[True Stories @TrueStoriesEU]

It really opens the doors when you come with the right intentions, with curiosity. - @stephbakker76 about her and @yvonnebrandwijk's work at the project @FutCity #TrueStories18

[True Stories @TrueStoriesEU]

We tell the stories through main characters. For each city, we had seven protagonists. Following their lives, we tell the story of the city.

"We're taking our online tool 'The Asylum Machine' European, to be used as a storytelling format in other countries - if you're a European journalist, get in touch! @eblankevoort on online storytelling at #TrueStories18

#TrueStories18 thinking about what your next story must be? Go to where the silence is. Says Joris Luyendijks publisher in UK

"In scroll stories created in newsrooms, we often imagine a perfect reader who easily switches between video's and text, but that reader does not exist. We tried to find a more reader-friendly format" - @mariafeck1 on online storytelling #TrueStories18

[True Stories @TrueStoriesEU]

We produce #multimedia content. We do photos, text, audio, and video and mix it all together. We do print publication in dutch and into media. We have exhibitions and live events, even here in @De_Zwijger. @stephbakker76 and @yvonnebrandwijk from @FutCity #TrueStories18
