In the Forest of Imagined Beginnings there are no clear rules or objectives. It is simply an online landscape that is vulnerable to the whims and wants of the digi_club community who can adopt this digital terrain as their own.

This new multi-user online environment – a new kind of forum or chat room - invites 12 -16 year olds to navigate and explore a beautiful landscape. digi_club members can explore the forest, embedding their own messages within the landscape and attaching conversations to trees planted by the artists.

digi_club members can enter the forest right now at www.digi.org.uk/foib.
