CREATE – SHARE – LISTEN | 4th International Conference on Digital Storytelling

There is a host of excellent speakers at this event – and if you are willing to brave a Norwegian winter then now is the time to book. There’s a 500 NOK (£52) early bird discount if you book before the 1st of December.  Here’s the summary from the front page of the website:

The content will include presentations, theoretical reflections, case stories, workshops and great experiences. Meet world renowned speakers and be inspired. We explore the increasing diversity in the use of Digital Storytelling and seek to contribute to knowledge and understanding of the potential of digital storytelling in a variety of contexts. These cover educational purposes and health, leisure, recreation, activism, community building, planning, professional communication and reflection.

Contributions should aim at building knowledge about digital storytelling as a genre and its ambitions and potentials in society. We therefore welcome critical and well founded presentations of applications in various contexts, methods and expressions used and in what directions future developments might go.

I haven’t been to the International Conference since the first one in Cardiff in 2003 so I think it’s time to show my face next year. See you there? I hope so.

Just announced at DS5. The next International Storytelling Conference is in Norway and called Create-Share-Listen http://j.mp/dAzFK6

Obidos Digital Storytelling Conference.

Details are now available for an International Digital Storytelling Conference – also in June 2009.

This one is in Portugal and is being promoted as the follow up to the last international conference in Cardiff in 2003.

I am unable to be in Lisbon for this conference as I am fully booked up in June to run workshops here in England.

So if you are up for the DS4 Festival in Aberystwyth followed by a conference in Lisbon the details are here.
