\nAbout the method
\nDigital storytelling is based on the assumption that every person has a unique story to be told and shared with others. It is a modern extension of the art of storytelling that has been an important part of social interactions since the very beginning of humanity. However, in our highly-expertise world we are forgetting how reflecting on personal experiences and sharing it with others can be beneficial for one\u2019s personal development. What is more, digital storytelling can be used as a change agent, that is, an inclusive tool because of its accessible media-rich form combining images and music with narratives so popular among youth.
\nAudiovisual and media literacy is the ability to comprehend and critically evaluate the information that is shared via audiovisual channels (photo, video, audio) and also to create comprehensible content. In the world were users, companies and institutions are all mass consumers and producers at the same time there is no doubt audiovisual literacy is playing an important role as a tool to raise the quality of audiovisual content and also bring awareness what we are consuming and how we can use video, photo, and audio to convey meaningful stories.
