Every year, the Europeana Initiative runs the Digital
Storytelling Festival. The international event encourages cultural
heritage professionals, educators, creatives, and students from Europe
and beyond to boost their storytelling skills and tell stories exploring
culture. We hope to inspire participants to create connections between
art, culture and history and the contemporary world.
The vibrant Festival boosted participants storytelling skills with engaging sessions. Access the slides and recordings!
The third edition of the Digital Storytelling Festival Online Creative Residency brings brings students and new professionals who want to gain storytelling skills in a professional setting together with experts (mentors) in a range of formats: writing, digital animation, stop motion animation, social media, video, collage art, and 3D.
This year’s theme is food!
Our relationship with food is personal but it’s also global. It’s about home, journey, family and friendship. It’s about health and wellbeing but also indulgence and celebration. It’s about our planet - seasonality and sustainability but also deforestation and destruction. It’s about feast but also famine. Food is depicted in art and literature throughout the ages, it pervades our languages, and special meals mark out the calendar in all our cultures. There’s plenty of food for thought in this theme - we look forward to seeing how this year’s residency participants interpret it!
Our Residency participants have been selected and sessions are in full swing! Results will be shared on Europeana.eu. If you would like to hear about future residencies, sign up for our events and training newsletter.
