Molotech

UN Internet Govenance Forum, Athens

Steve Vosloo spent 5 days in Athens at the Internet Governance Forum, a UN event to discuss issues such as freedom of expression, censorship, multilingualism, local content, etc. He was there to be on a panel to discuss Emerging Issues from a Youth Perspective. The panel was held at the closing ceremony, about 400 people in the audience.

Steve spoke about the Digital Hero Book Project, explaining the need for physical access to ICTs and good bandwidth, and for fora such as this to keep exploring ways of creating safe and free — as in free expression — online spaces for youth.

He wrote a short piece on the significance of the event, from a UN perspective.

Digital storytelling workshop at partner site

Steve Vosloo just completed a 3-day workshop at the Center for Digital Storytelling. It was lots of fun to go through the whole process of writing a script, collecting and editing images, recording an audio narration, and weaving it all together in video editing software. Some of the youths participating in the Digital Hero Book Project (DHBP) will have the opportunity to tell their digital story in the form of a short movie.

The Center for Digital Storytelling is a partner with Molotech in the DHBP and will provide assistance with curriculum development of the digital storytelling aspect of the project.
