Program Description:

SIT Study Abroad Portugal: Multimedia Storytelling and Intercultural Communication


Become a skilled multimedia storyteller as you create engaging traditional or digital messages in an intercultural context.

WHY STUDY ABROAD IN PORTUGAL?
This program provides you with the hands-on experience you need to become a skilled multimedia storyteller. Learn to research, produce, and incorporate text, audio, graphics, and other imagery to create engaging traditional or digital messages in an intercultural context. Expand your multimedia abilities and use them to enhance your intercultural communication skills and prepare for an international career, whether you are majoring in journalism and media studies, social sciences or humanities, math, or technology.

From the program’s base in Lisbon, you will utilize professional-grade television and radio recording and editing equipment. Under the guidance of media and arts professionals, you will collaborate on small media projects with local peers and build a portfolio of dynamic and engaging content. In the Multimedia Storytelling Atelier, you will engage in a series of creative experiments to enhance your sensory perceptions, intercultural communication and production skills, and prepare to complete a final multimedia project.
