The content is structured around a knowledge of platforms and communication practices, which are seamlessly knitted together into five modules.

The rethinking of photographic digital communication both in terms of media and content is what drives the notion of The Image As Storytelling. By engaging the quickly evolving worlds of photography and photojournalism within a digital-first approach, in the LAB you will learn how to engage visual communication to its full potential, and incorporate storytelling as a digital practice for interactive platforms. Through a hands-on, experimental and practice-led approach, you will reconsider today’s shifting visual vocabulary specifically for digital and interactive communication frameworks.

Interactive Factual Narratives is your background intelligence to explore and assess everything ranging from web-documentary, to games for change, VR and social mobile apps. You will be given an exhaustive overview of the field to be able to map the territory and position your practice in it. You will be guided through your creative journey with a user-centred workflow that mixes design and software methodologies to prototype and design interactive storytelling. You will be challenged by a “what’s next” approach and will be pushed to think beyond current trends.
