#YourStory3 is an ongoing collaborative journalism and membership engagement project that aims at the direct involvement of readers and the co-creation of articles. It invites readers to live the experience of ideating, researching, documenting and co-writing articles engaging with inside story journalists. It is organised by insidestory.gr, a Greek membership-based investigative journalism website, in collaboration with Associate Professor Betty Tsakarestou, Head of AdandPRLAB of Panteion University.

The Ideation Workshop, on 7 March 2019 at Impact Hub Athens kicks off #YourStory3’s fascinating experience. During the Ideation Workshop, participants, inside story’s journalists and Associate Professor Betty Tsakarestou, will share and discuss #YourStory ideas, listen to other participants ideas and offer feedback to make each other's ideas better.

Next stop is the Co-creation Workshop on the 21st of March 2019 at Public, Syntagma Square, where both participants and journalists will work on the ideas and develop them into journalistic stories by integrating storytelling techniques. In addition, during the Co-creation Workshop we will vote which stories will continue to the next stages.

The workshops will be followed by one on one meetings with journalists, open newsrooms and votings, while the process will be completed in September, when the #YourStories co-written by the participants and the journalists are published in inside story.
