Light a Match and Tell Your Story

Everyone has a story. Stories have excised since the very beginnings of Humankind and the ability to communicate. The earliest forms of storytelling were thought to have been primarily oral combined with gestures and expressions. A traditional way of telling a story is thought to be near the fireplace at night.

During our DigiTales course we wanted to simulate a time travel from the oldest storytelling techniques by the fireplace to the latest and modern Digital Storytelling.

That is why we had a session with matches, where each participant was challenged to tell a story under the match light.

We have to confess that we were amazed by the stories we heard. And this was just the beginning for our intercultural story telling journey .
