INPUT / … / … / When Cross Platform Tries to Change the World

If you want to engage your audience, the immersive experience of cross platform storytelling promises to connect us to each other in deep meaningful ways. We can travel to a new world, see and experience it through other eyes and grow our understanding and empathy. In this session we look at four projects that attempt to harness cross platform storytelling to trigger social interaction and change the world. From religious beliefs, to the thorny subjects of teen suicide and school bullying, to a daring initiative in open source journalism; these projects offer the audience the possibility to contribute and be a part of a discussion on some of the great social issues of our time. Through the insights of the creators we will explore what worked, what did not, and whether cross platform really delivers on its promise to get us closer to the heart of the matter.
