Help Shape the Future of Storytelling — Join Our Online Workshop
Building Bridges is developing a digital storytelling platform where girls and FLINTA* of Colour can share their experiences and needs. To make sure the platform truly speaks to its community, we're inviting female mentors and role models of Colour* to help us test and refine it — and we'd love your input.
What to Expect
Explore Prototypes Discover five storytelling formats currently being considered for the platform: Memory Album, Story Card Deck, Interactive Globe Journey, Immersive Scroll, and Kinetic Audio.
Share Impressions Evaluate each format based on comprehensibility, emotional connection (identification), and usability — and tell us what works and what doesn't.
Co-Create Ideas Combine elements from existing formats or propose entirely new ones. Your ideas could shape the next iteration of the platform.
Your Voice Matters Help us design a storytelling platform that is meaningful, accessible, and empowering for all.
Workshop Details
- Date: 28 August 2026
- Time: 11:00 - 12:30
- Format: Online via Zoom + a collaborative Miro board
- Language: English (German materials available)
- Who: No special technical expertise required — whether you're deeply familiar with digital storytelling or brand new to it, your perspective matters.
Why It Matters
Your feedback will directly shape which storytelling formats are built, refined, or retired on the Building Bridges platform — helping ensure it reflects the real needs and experiences of the community it's built for.
Ready to Take Part?
Spaces are limited — we look forward to shaping the future of storytelling with you.
Building Bridges is part of the "Metavorhaben Migration, Integration und Teilhabe an Bildung" and is funded by the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth (BMFSFJ) and co-financed by the European Social Fund Plus (ESF Plus), in cooperation with the University of Duisburg-Essen, Freie Universität Berlin, and Stiftung SPI.
