After introducing the methodology of digital storytelling, in which images and recorded narrative are combined to create short video stories, students write and create their own stories based on their time abroad. Participants script, storyboard and produce a 3-4 minute film about the challenges and triumphs of their experience and share it with others.

For 1 additional credit that counts toward the translation concentration, students may translate and narrate their stories into the language of the country where they spent their time.
