Toolkits: Digital Storytelling 2025

Ends on

What is digital storytelling?
What kind of meaningful experiences can you create online?
What makes digital storytelling different to other forms of writing?

Express Media is proud to present the 2025 return of Toolkits: Digital Storytelling - an online course in the forms, skills, and ethics of creating stories for the web and beyond. This program will combine theoretical approaches, practical exercises and group workshopping to guide young writers to experiment and develop their work in a range of digital forms.

Toolkits is first and foremost a practical initiative, and a large focus of this course will be on creating work that’s uniquely digital and couldn’t be published on the printed page. Young writers will be encouraged to create, write, workshop and edit their work throughout the course.

If you are a young writer or artist interested in digital storytelling, we want to hear from you!
