About:
Come and participate in a practical skills-based digital workshop led by two directors of the global Critical Connections Project which has been working with schools since 2012. You will gain hands-on experience of how to conduct a multilingual digital storytelling project with language learners across a wide range of levels and ages. Project schools have included over 44 languages in their digital stories, and we have worked with students from 6–18-years old, as well as carrying out community projects with adults.
You will have the opportunity to create your stories using found objects and create a short 2–3-minute bi-multi/lingual animation film within the workshop. In the pre-production part of the workshop, you will have the opportunity to understand more about stop motion animation; camera angles and shots; creating mood boards and sketching out your storyboard to plan and structure a short bi-multi/lingual film. The afternoon will be spent filming, editing, and sharing the short films as well as reflecting on how students learn languages through the process of digital storytelling.
