The University of the Western Cape is one of 11 Universities participating in the programme Common Good First: Digital Storytelling for Social Innovation.
This is an Erasmus+ funded initiative with the objective of supporting and growing the emerging South African social innovation sector. The project aims to create a digital network that will capture and showcase social impact projects in Northern Europe and South Africa.
It further aims at contributing towards digital skills development.
Two of the storytelling laboratories (mobile and fixed) will be hosted on the UWC campus.
We showcased the project and explored how the digital storytelling lab and process can be utilised to contribute towards social innovation in general, skills development and initiatives of social innovators in our network on and off campus.
