Boot Camp on Digital Storytelling
2 - 4 September 9.30am - 5.30pm
Carnegie Lab, Toa Payoh Community Library

This state-of-the-art workshop describes the process of crafting a short media-rich digital story by combining digital multi-media production techniques with a personal narrative. With a goal to create a unique non-fictional 3-5 minute digital story, you will be immersed in weaving personal tales using images, graphics, music and sound, all strung together with a personal story voice.

Asian Digital Storytelling Congress
5 - 6 September 9am - 5.30pm
Possibility Room, National Library

By examining new creative works, the Congress, an international meeting of professionals and digital media enthusiasts, will discuss, share and communicate new concepts in the art of digital storytelling. The discussion will lay its focus on the use of digital storytelling in education, community building, business, personal development and entertainment.

Beyond Words
Digital storytelling brings together traditional storytelling and modern multimedia tools to deliver tales using images, sound, music and voice. It brings out the artist, the storyteller and the writer in everyone.

Digital stories pay tribute to important persons, capture family stories, recall fond memories, and explore places lived in or visited. They are increasingly used to entertain, teach, train, inform, promote and advertise. Corporations and public institutions use digital storytelling to motivate their human capital, create a legacy of corporate stories, and impart core values.

Digital stories engage the learner and ensure the development of skills in research, writing, technology, communication and problem-solving.
