Abstract

Background: Digital stories have been shown to be effective in sharing information. The Partnerships for Inclusive Research and Learning (PIRL) was a 4-year international participatory research project focussed on the digital divide in inclusive research.

Objectives: Members of PIRL share their experience of using digital storytelling to get key messages from the project to a wide range of people.

Method: Members of PIRL were invited to develop digital stories and create project-specific guidelines for digital story development. Seven people participated in workshops given by experts, read literature, watched digital stories and discussed how to create digital stories.

Results: The group created six digital stories, each one addressing a different aspect related to disability-inclusive research, with many having a focus on Africa and the creation of credible African evidence. The importance of assisting community members to think about and support research and evidence creation was one of the goals of the project. The videos provide an avenue to share insights about disability-inclusive development research. Group members stated that being part of the process significantly improved their understanding of translating evidence into formats that are more understandable.

Conclusion: Creating digital stories requires commitment, a significant amount of time, access to digital tools, and financial resources. Working collaboratively on this project was not only meaningful but also encouraged positive working relationships and fostered critical thinking.

Contribution: This article contributes to a better understanding of ways in which digital storytelling can be used in knowledge-sharing strategies to promote disability inclusion.

用数字故事促进非洲兼顾残疾问题的研究。
背景:数字故事已被证明能够有效地分享信息。全纳研究与学习伙伴关系(PIRL)是一个为期四年的国际参与式研究项目,重点关注全纳研究中的数字鸿沟:目标:PIRL 的成员分享他们利用数字故事向广大群众传递项目关键信息的经验:方法:邀请 PIRL 成员开发数字故事,并为数字故事的开发制定项目特定指南。七人参加了由专家举办的研讨会,阅读了文献,观看了数字故事,并讨论了如何创作数字故事:小组创作了六个数字故事,每个故事都涉及与残疾包容性研究有关的不同方面,其中许多故事都以非洲和创建可信的非洲证据为重点。协助社区成员思考和支持研究与证据创建的重要性是该项目的目标之一。这些视频为分享有关兼顾残疾问题的发展研究的见解提供了一个渠道。小组成员表示,参与这一过程极大地提高了他们对将证据转化为更易于理解的格式的理解:创作数字故事需要承诺、大量时间、使用数字工具和资金。在这个项目中开展合作不仅很有意义,还鼓励了积极的工作关系,培养了批判性思维:这篇文章有助于更好地理解在知识共享战略中使用数字故事的方式,以促进对残疾人的包容。

期刊介绍: The African Journal of Disability, the official journal of CRS, AfriNEAD and CEDRES, introduce and discuss issues and experiences relating to and supporting the act of better understanding the interfaces between disability, poverty and practices of exclusion and marginalisation. Its articles yield new insight into established human development practices, evaluate new educational techniques and disability research, examine current cultural and social discrimination, and bring serious critical analysis to bear on problems shared across the African continent. Emphasis is on all aspects of disability particularity in the developing African context. This includes, amongst others: -disability studies as an emerging field of public health enquiry -rehabilitation, including vocational and community-based rehabilitation -community development and medical issues related to disability and poverty -disability-related stigma and discrimination -inclusive education -legal, policy, human rights and advocacy issues related to disability -the role of arts and media in relation to disability -disability as part of global Sustainable Development Goals transformation agendas -disability and postcolonial issues -globalisation and cultural change in relation to disability -environmental and climate-related issues linked to disability -disability, diversity and intersections of identity -disability and the promotion of human development.
