Digital Storytelling- A Method for Empowerment & Social Change

Copenhagen, 30th Sep 2016

“ We are our stories. We compress years of experience, thought, and emotion into a few compact narratives

that we convey to others and tell to ourselves.”

- Daniel Pink

The value of DS Effective stories inspire people for social causes by creating human connection and emotional resonance

The power of storytelling is not in telling about an event or someone else’s life, but rather in shifting the lens to using the setting, details, and events for telling your story with the experience

Stories can be used to introduce a new topic into the public dialogue, contribute to an ongoing conversation and engage people as active participants

After a digital storytelling is shared, it should be remembered for its soul, not the bells and whistles of technology
