Student Digital Stories from APU, Malaysia

Second Digital Storytelling Contest at APU (2022)

As the Covid-19 pandemic swept through the world, our FRIENDS from the Philippines, Thailand, Bhutan, Malaysia and Cambodia were also affected. While the uncertainty around the globe affected all fields of life, FRIENDS’ digital stories transformed into a way of connecting internationally, at least virtually, while no other international travel was allowed.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, another Digital Storytelling contest was conducted in 2022. The winning video creators in the Asia Pacific University of Technology and Innovation are Chan See Mun, Kew Jiun Jie, Koo Jie Lin, and Ng Shuang Yin. Their digital stories, as well as the many other submitted, can be viewed at the following link.
