This interactive session explores how storytelling can be a transformative tool for empowering young people as changemakers. It describes how Docathon, a program that guides students in creating and sharing short documentary films about local and global issues, serves as a tool teachers can use to foster meaningful storytelling with their students. Participants will leave with:
A deeper understanding of why storytelling is a powerful tool for empowering youth voices.
First-hand experience with story-sharing activities they can replicate in classrooms or workshops.
A simple, adaptable framework for guiding students to craft impactful stories about change.
Practical strategies for connecting youth storytelling to global learning and real audiences.
