Digital Storytelling & Media Literacy
Digital storytelling is another way to create and disseminate personal stories, experiences, and ideas. It is a creative way of compiling a personal story in a few minutes of video or audio with illustrations that relate the content of the story.
There are various and diverse topics and issues usually the storytelling process involves, with the aim to develop the knowledge and understanding of these topics in particular community or society.
Our community journalists also support identifying themes to cover and connect trainees to potential community members whose stories and experience would cover.
Our digital storytelling targets black African communities in London and supports them with all the digital training, media platforms and other resources they would need to create and share their personal as well as community stories, ideas, and successes.
We offer all it takes to be a professional storyteller. Our community studio is exclusively devised and equipped to be fully used by the wider communities members, individuals and their support organizations not only for the production digital stories, but it also provide training, all ICT capabilities and techniques to those who have no prior experience in the field to begin their journey to telling stories and community journalism at large.
