Digital storytelling is an accessible, fun and meaningful way to improve engagement, build capacity and digital literacy as well as elevate hauora (wellbeing).

The process of telling and sharing a story can be healing and cathartic, while hearing stories deepens our compassion, understanding, and interpersonal connections. Stories are powerful communicative expressions of our shared humanity.

Digital stories are potent tools of engagement, particularly for younger generations and broader audiences where there is a real enthusiasm for audio-visual content. Digital storytelling helps individuals and communities amplify and celebrate their own unique voices.

“Such a treasure is what keeps coming back to me. Even though we created our individual stories, our stories were meaningful and resonated as a collective. Such an AMAZEBALLS kaupapa!”

“I enjoyed being able to share kōrero, and listen to everyone else’s kōrero be shared. The environment that was held throughout the two days was very happy and felt very safe.”

“Words can’t really express the emotion that has been felt and shared with whanau around our stories.”
