The Visual Storytelling for Civic Engagement and the OSUN network is a course designed to teach students the art of visual storytelling through various media. As part of this course, the students are given the opportunity to showcase their skills by participating in the OSUN film festival.
Since 2020, OSUN has supported the research and production of student-created video case studies, tools to connect student filmmakers and faculty so they can produce compelling documentaries and written cases about global issues.
During Spring 2023, the Visual Storytelling for Civic Engagement (VSCE) team presents a series of in-person film festivals and online events designed to showcase the range of work the students are producing.
The OSUN Visual Storytelling for Civic Engagement celebrates 25 student-made videos from across the OSUN Network. The screening will be followed by voting by a panel of judges and online voting for the "People's Choice" award. Categories:
