The first day of the two-day workshop event was dedicated to the topic of “Storytelling in the Digital Age” and the question how merging the potentials of traditional and digital media can create new pervasive and immersive experiences, which takes into account the personality of each audience member and can show how closely storytelling and creative technology are interlinked.

Thursday was all about “Gamification”.
