Let’s engage with stories. Welcome to WEEK 7!

Discover this week, how digital storytelling is a powerful strategy to use in the development of digital heritage education resources through the integration of the local heritage and community stories.

As every week, an essay will be posted in the blog and a talk will be recorded in the podcast.

The essay of this week is an introductory article about the relevance of including digital storytelling as a strategy for engaging young audiences.

It is titled Digital Storytelling. A way to involve the young audiences with the power of emotions and explores the ways used by some educational projects for engaging audiences through digital stories. It starts from a conceptual framework and includes tips, examples, and recommendations.
