Through telling a story people get a chance to share their realities, daily challenges, problems and joys with the others. By using media tools - video, photography, audio - the people can share these small stories with their peers but also with wide publics, bringing attention to the topics that are usually hidden, showing unexpected perspectives and calling for action leading to a social change.
