Storytelling lies at the heart of communication. Many not for profit organizations use storytelling intuitively in order to explain the work that they do, the communities that they work with, and also to describe the successes and impacts that their work has had.
Digital storytelling moves this art into a new arena. With digital storytelling, organizations are able to communicate with a global audience. How and organization chooses to tell its story using digital medium is a question often put in the “too hard basket”, often due to misunderstanding about the complexity and cost of creating digital media. As a result, many fantastic, important and engaging stories are not being compiled in a digital format, and therefore, not being shared with an eager global audience.
