The 12th International Digital Storytelling Conference concluded with great success, marking a historic milestone as the first time the event was hosted in the Global South and Latin America.

The conference, themed "Lives, Voices, and Knowledge in a World on Fire," took place in November 2025. Hosted by Museu da Pessoa and StoryCenter, the gathering focused on the climate crisis and the profound power of narrative to address the interconnected challenges of our era.

Participants from around the world engaged in meaningful dialogue, exploring how storytelling can drive action and foster collective resilience amidst global crises. This landmark event provided our community with invaluable insights and energy, which we are now carrying forward to the upcoming DST-Zakynthos 2026.
