Visual storytelling

Students will benefit from Masterclasses and one-to-one tutoring sessions similar to the Summer School during which they will learn storytelling tools and techniques, explore the art of combining story and image, and craft a visual presentation (a “pitch”) of your story. 

Join students from around the world online, and share your passion for stories, while developing your project and pitching abilities!
