This document discusses how digital education can help students at University College London (UCL). It suggests using narratives and storytelling, such as re-telling one's journey to UCL through the story of "The Owl and the Pussycat." Students are invited to share their digital dreams and will receive a digital prescription or voucher in return. The REACT project aims to help "hard to reach students" through student sessions using these storytelling and creative techniques. The document promotes generating inspiration for the UCL Education Conference through such novel pedagogies.

It takes a trickster to let the genie out and make us see afresh.” (Ackermann 2015, p. 410)
