More than meets the eye digital storytelling | Dordaak Kepup

What makes you, you? What makes a place feel like home? And how can a photograph tell a story without saying a word?

Join Centre for Stories for a fun, practical digital storytelling workshop where you'll explore photography, experiment with creative techniques and discover how to bring stories to life through images, words and even sound.

Whether it's something that represents your identity, a favourite place, an everyday moment, your culture or something completely imaginary, you'll have the freedom to choose what inspires you and tell your story your way.

What can you expect?

• Play with angles, light and creative photography techniques.
• Turn everyday objects, places and moments into visual stories.
• Create your own digital story using photos, titles and captions.
• Add words and sound to bring your story together.
• Explore ideas around identity, culture and community.
• Share ideas and check out what other young people create.

No experience needed! Just bring your imagination and give it a go.

Whether you're into photography, art or storytelling, or just keen to try something new, this workshop is a chance to experiment and tell your story your way.

This is a workshop for young people in high school or equivalent. Bring your own phone or camera.
