Digital Storytelling

The participants will have the chance to cultivate their digital storytelling skills. The activity will focus on the practical use of Digital Storytelling in Social Media for promoting digital activism. This mixed mobility focuses on the development of digital storytelling skills for practical use on Social Media. This digital storytelling workshop is designed to build awareness of the prospects of existing tools. Upon completion of the activities, participants will be able to use Digital Storytelling in cyberspace activistically against intolerant and racist rhetoric. Participants will also have the chance to create an online blog, with the technical and methodological support of Fractality.

The creation of digital narratives through audiovisual material will take place taking into account the real experiences of exclusion of the participants. This workshop will revolve around sharing stories from the participants and thus encourage them to use Storytelling, in its optimal form, in order to propagate activist messages of their interest. Our goal is to provide an interactive and experiential learning experience by taking advantage of our collective intelligence and sharing of ideas.

Participants will acquire:

• Knowledge about Narration and Digital Narration
• Skills on the use of Digital Narration as a tool for the dissemination of Powerful Social Messages
• Digital and non-digital Narrative Skills
• Skills on digital processing (digital editing)
• The opportunity of taking initiatives through the creation of a blog (blog)
