Digital Storytelling

For my digital storytelling project, I chose to tell the story of my semester long trip to Galway, Ireland in the Spring of 2004. This video aims to get undergraduate Sophomores and Juniors excited about the prospect of living abroad as an immersive way to study the history and culture of another country. The educational message of the story is conveyed through a series of tips on how students can make the most of the experience.

Making the Most of Studying Abroad is intended to be used as the introduction to the annual Study Abroad Fair at Sweet Briar College, where students come to learn about different program offerings. The video is intended to be shown during the whole group introduction at the start of the fair. Afterwards, students will be able to visit tables hosted by students and professors who are familiar with the different countries and programs to help them select a place to go.
