Fathers’ Story Week: online resource engages Dads and schools

Dads and teachers are being encouraged to share their experiences of this year's Fathers’ Story Week which took place in June. Boilerhouse designed and built the initiative website to allow professionals and dads involved to upload their own experiences as text, video and photos.

More than 2000 primary schools, children’s centres, libraries, childminders and even prisons took part in the initiative created by the Fatherhood Institute to get dads more involved in their childrens’ learning and development. Boilerhouse developed the website to make the uploading of exeriences content simple and an attractive display of the material automatically following administrator approval. This will result in the creation of a valuable resource for similar initiatives and to take forward into next year’s event.
