We explore the increasing diversity in the use of Digital Storytelling and seek to contribute to knowledge and understanding of the potential of digital storytelling in a variety of contexts. These cover emerging new areas of use related to educational purposes and health, leisure,recreation, activism, community building, planning, professional communication and reflection.
Contributions should aim at building knowledge about digital storytelling as a genre and its ambitions and potentials in society. We therefore welcome critical and well founded presentations of applications in various contexts, methods and expressions used and in what directions future developments might go. Program outline, themes and call for contributions will appear here shortly.
The organisers consist of an informal network from higher education, research, administration and private enterprise in close cooperation with Center for Digital Storytelling (CDS).
