Placing personal storytelling at the heart of collaborative action research, evaluation, and community development and change making is crucial to working towards a more egalitarian world. Our participatory approach is designed to deliver positive change. It builds creativity and develops visual and narrative skills to help people to tell and share their own stories. Working in this way enables storytellers to shape the forces that affect their lives and influence the communities where they live and work.

What we do
DigiTales started life as a European international project in 2005, within a large-scale partnership called Inclusion Through Media. We wanted to use this experimental space to explore a mode of transnational digital storytelling that could really forefront diverse voices across borders.
In 2008 we established DigiTales as a stand alone not-for-profit company and delivered our first project for the British Council’s young leadership programme Imagine your Future.
Since then, we have worked with commercial clients, public sector agencies, charities and universities extensively across Europe as well as within Africa, Australia and North America.
