The Digital Storytelling (DST) Laboratory is the first Digital Storytelling Lab at “L’Orientale” University of Naples and the first Lab of this type in the Campania region.
The DST Lab aims at representing both an innovative teaching and learning methodology and also a place of experimentation and production that, due to the combination of traditional storytelling with digital multimedia, attempts to foster both linguistic and digital skills according to the Framework for 21st Century Learning.

ResT-UP 2 will be held in conjunction with LREC2022 (https://lrec2022.lrec-conf.org/) on June 24, 2022 (a full day session), and aims at bringing together researchers and scholars working on stylometric analysis and automatic detection of abusive language on the Web, e.g., cyberbullying or hate speech, with a twofold objective: improving the existing Linguistic Resources (LRs), e.g., datasets, corpora, lexicons, and sharing ideas on stylometry techniques and features useful to characterise abusive language online in a fair and transparent way.
