Digital Storytelling is the practice of using computer and mobile phone based technology to tell inspired stories.
They contain a mixture of images, text, recorded audio ,video clips and/or music, they can vary in length from 2-5 min.
The topics that are used range from personal/community tales, visions, events and historical events.
We guide the individuals to create empowering stories of their individual and community life. These stories are connected directly with images, words and audio that the individual has collected.
The story can be share electronically and by using mobile phones.
Digital Storytelling can bypass language and literacy barriers, making it an effective, engaging and empowering engagement tool.
