Abstract

Abstract : Place-based digital storytelling can transform conversations about environmental challenges. Yet, co-creating digital stories also has the power to transform those involved in producing them. This is the critical reflection of an interdisciplinary team of lecturers and students who produced their own contextually situated resources to spark conversations about, and public awareness of, land use classifications environmental issues in Aotearoa New Zealand. The resulting short film on land use and podcast series on environmental issues challenges us to imagine new human-environment futures and highlights the existing disconnects and constraints that have limited our ability to achieve them. This case study will be useful for others interested in creating similar projects.
