Storytelling and Photovoice
Storytelling is a qualitative research method used across different fields to bring to light personal experiences, beliefs, and values. Telling stories makes science more accessible and helps in bridging the gap between scientific-based knowledge and community-based experiences.
We link Storytelling with the Photovoice methodology, proposing our own hybrid methodology. Photovoice is a form of reflective photography that enables them to record and reflect on their concerns, inform research with local experiences, and promote knowledge through collaborative and collective interpretation and dissemination.
