Closing Keynote: The Promise of Digital Storytelling for Global Health Communication

How do we spread critical health messages globally in ways that overcome language, literacy, and cultural barriers to access? By harnessing the power of short, animated, wordless storytelling, we can reach millions of people all over the world, rapidly, via existing dissemination pathways. The promise of digital storytelling lies in its ability to engage and delight diverse audiences, on the assumption that, if you want to change someone’s mind, you have to touch their heart first.
