Do you want to learn how to make your story into a short and impactful video to share on social media?
If you recognize yourself in that description, then our course is right for you.
WHAT DOES THE COURSE INCLUDES
We offer a full-day training in Digital Creative Storytelling. The training consists of two parts.
