Youth media and social change

Using digital storytelling as a tool that engages youth to become change agents

Produktbeschreibung

Today the importance of digital technology has significantly increased worldwide, as cameras, laptops, and easy-to-use applications and software have become available to educators and activists, enabling them to join the digital world. Through a digital storytelling workshop, I examined the use of digital storytelling as a potential means of empowerment for teenagers participating in the Access Micro-scholarship Program. Using qualitative methods, I looked at the students' interactions with each other as well as with technology in the process of digital storytelling. The main purpose of this project was to investigate the opportunities that digital storytelling practices hold for youth in order to promote agency and self-expression, adding more data to the literature since digital storytelling has not drawn the attention it needs in Morocco. My main objective is to examine whether digital storytelling can be used as a change agent, that is, an inclusive tool that encourages Moroccan youth to express their concerns about social justice issues.
