This course is about creating a digital space that speaks in your own voice. Each participant will design their own authorial webpage: adding texts, photographs, drawings, audio, and embedding game elements, links, and transitions.

The central theme will be “Game Character” — an image invented and visualized by each participant. It can be a character reflecting one’s inner world, experiences, dreams, or protest. The character will have its own personality, appearance, environment, and story.

After creating the character, the work will continue in a digital environment: the character will become part of the participant’s webpage, come to life through texts, animation, and sounds, and enter into dialogue with other characters. As a result, all stories will merge into a collective online project.

Throughout the course, participants will get acquainted with the basics of website creation, digital storytelling, and working with visual media.

Course outcome: unified digital project — a polyphonic map of characters and their interactions.
