Kissa Kahani is a two-year, international project that uses multimedia approaches, storytelling, and innovative research techniques to promote gender equity and family planning in the urban area of Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India. Anchored by the digital storytelling methodology, the Transmedia Story Lab team and Ci3 researchers arrived in Lucknow in January 2016 to meet and collaborate with their community partners and begin the process of collecting media assets. During their six-week visit, the team conducted workshops with youth to develop short, first-person documentaries produced with music, images, and narratives of young people communicating their daily lives, hopes, and dreams. These digital stories will be shared by Ci3 to beautifully explore the cultural, emotional, and social experiences of Lucknow youth.
