107 What? The historic city of Hermoupolis is rich in architecturalheritage, much of which is endangered or decaying. The key idea behind the 100 buildings/100 stories initiative is that beyond the technical conservation of a building, a local community can keep heritage alive by recognising and sharing its qualitative value: the stories it tells. The challenge of the initiative was to make citizens aware of the vulnerability of their built heritage and encourage them to engage in its preservation. Through digital storytelling, the initiative bridges the tangible and intangible heritage of the city and sparks community engagement. The city integrated the participatory digital tool 100 stories/100 buildings into its local digital heritage system, HERMeS (HERitage Management e-System). Residents can now narrate, share and re-create the stories of the city and its buildings by submitting them directly on an online portal. Users are asked to share a story and/or propose a building that is worth mentioning in the list. Users can also upload photos, audio and videos. The stories are registered and hosted on an online page. Then a QR sign is placed in front of the associated building. Via their mobile phones, visitors can scan the sign and discover the story of the building through the eyes of the community. More info 100 buildings, 100 stories
