Background of the Study:
Digital storytelling represents an innovative approach to cultural preservation by combining traditional narrative techniques with modern digital media. In Owo Local Government, Ondo State, this method has been increasingly utilized to document, share, and revitalize indigenous cultural heritage (Adeyemi, 2023). By leveraging multimedia elements such as video, audio, and interactive graphics, digital storytelling allows communities to preserve oral histories, folklore, and local traditions in a format that appeals to both older and younger generations (Femi, 2024). This fusion of technology and tradition has the potential to enhance cultural identity and promote intercultural understanding, particularly in areas where cultural practices are at risk of being lost. However, challenges such as technological barriers, limited funding, and the potential for cultural misrepresentation need to be addressed. This study investigates how digital storytelling is being implemented as a tool for cultural preservation in Owo, assessing its effectiveness in safeguarding cultural heritage while adapting to the digital age (Segun, 2023).
Statement of the Problem:
Despite the promising role of digital storytelling in cultural preservation, there is limited empirical evidence regarding its effectiveness in Owo Local Government. Issues such as technological limitations and potential misrepresentation of cultural narratives may undermine its impact. The study seeks to address these concerns by evaluating the use of digital storytelling as a means to preserve indigenous culture (Adeyemi, 2023).
