The implementation of SDGs by trained SDGs Youth Advocates to use digital storytelling to creates awareness on how the SDGs can be prioritize , localize and implemented within local and national levels .
Digital Storytelling is a project-based learning program that integrates technology with language arts. A digital story is a short video, consisting of a series of still images and effects that are combined with a narrated soundtrack to tell a story. A digital story project will provide theSDGsHu youth advocates with an opportunity to share a meaningful experiences on the SDGs from their creative perspective .
. The digital storytelling process is broken into two parts, the writing phase and the video phase. During the writing phase trainees will brainstorm and research on the 17- SDGs , draft their story base on their findings and revise scripts, and design story boards. The writing process will allow trainees the opportunity to further develop their narrative and creative skills
In addition, trainees will have to edit their stories for content, continuity and time. The project also requires that youth develop their oral presentation skills because they provide the narration for their own digital story.
Once the script and accompanying story board are complete, they become the blueprint for the video. The trainees will gather the visual elements and add other audio and visual effects and then use digital video editing software to construct the final video which will be base on the SDGs priorities and local implmentation
Selected Trained Youth Advocates will develop the following skills
