Digital Content Creation and Multimedia Storytelling
Digital content creation and multimedia storytelling are critical parts of our GYSRL ecosystem. Many of our members are experienced multimedia storytellers and creators and we hope that our work draws attention to the importance of youth-centered storytelling and digital content.
Current Projects

Green Frame Project: Media and Storytelling (2024)
The Lab is collaborating with the youth-led network AfriClimActiv to empower young African storytellers to amplify their voices and share unique experiences and perspectives on climate change. Through this collaboration, we are training young storytellers in media and communication skills, supporting the creation of stories that highlight climate change impacts and solutions, and creating platforms to share these stories with the global community.
Social Media Content Creation
The GYSRL is active on various social media platforms. We have a presence on X/Twitter, Instagram, and Linkedin. We are always finding ways to communicate the Lab’s mission, vision, and work in creative ways through digital content creation and multimedia storytelling on these platforms. Check our Home Page or Contact Us Section for links to our profiles.
