Storytelling has always reflected the world in which humanity has lived. The world is changing, and so then do the stories and how they are told. The landscape of communication is evolving at
an exponential rate, and digital media creation is riding at the head of
the wave.
In the past few years, we’ve seen the transformation from long to extremely short-form digital storytelling, and we’ve experienced the rise and fall of technologies never to be seen or heard of again. But what remains constant underneath all the change in this digital age is the steady pulse of community storytelling.
While sharing stories is arguably the most ancient and long-lasting way of engaging and influencing emotions, values, judgments, and imaginations, community storytelling can be used to incite change. But these stories can only touch hearts and minds if they are noticed and heard.
