Abstract
In this chapter, Meimaris provides details and outcomes from two projects originating from the Laboratory of New Technologies in Communication, Education, and Mass Media at the University of Athens. Meimaris begins by highlighting the development and use of a new media tool, Milia, which supports online community-based digital storytelling (DST) through the construction and sharing of linear and non-linear multimodal narratives. Extending from this, the chapter uses two examples that demonstrate the benefits of using DST to provide mutual affective, cognitive and social benefits to young people and elders as they work together to create multimodal intergenerational narratives centred around the concept of jobs of yesteryears.
