On Saturday the 22nd of November I’ll be joining the The Federation
for Detached Youth Work annual conference in Leeds for a plenary talk exploring ways in which Digital Storytelling can be applied as an approach for everyday activism. The conference theme this year is Detached Youth Work in the Digital Age.
Digital Storytelling combines the traditions of sharing personal narratives with creative digital methods to amplify unheard voices and ‘gently disrupt’ dominant knowledge systems. Over a five-step process – story-circle, scripting, audio recording, video editing, and screening – participants craft two-minute videos merging images and voiceover.
Rooted in facilitated peer exchange, this approach encourages empathy, mutual learning, and a deeper understanding of complexity and difference, making it an effective method for practicing everyday activism and fostering dialogue even amid disagreement.

How Digital Storytelling Transformed My Life… And Many Others
I am delighted to be one of the keynote speakers at the 12th International Digital Storytelling Conference that coincides with the 1st International Conference on Social Technologies of Memories, co-hosted by the Museu da Pessoa in Brazil and StoryCenter.
My talk will focus on experiencing the privilege to learn every day from everyday life experiences for my own development and the development of Digital Storytelling as a practice. I will go through lesson learnt from a diverse range of international projects as a way of framing the duty of listening as everyday activism.

Delighted to co-author this paper with two brilliant colleagues and friends from Loughborough University and the Institute for Creative Futures LU London, Valentina Volpi and Ksenija Kuzmina, who will be presenting our paper at the Sport Anthropology Conference 2025, whose theme this year is “Sport Beyond Definitions”.
The paper is inspired and informed by the work we are developing together through participatory digital storytelling and co-design with young people in Bangladesh, Jordan, and Fiji, at the intersection of climate displacement and sport.
