Rewriting narratives

Scroll Stories is an Oak Centre creative initiative that equips young Nigerians with the skills to drive social change through creative digital storytelling.

Designed for and by the internet generation, the programme teaches participants how to use the language of today’s digital platforms, including tweets, DMs, memes, reels, and rhythm, to tell compelling stories that raise awareness around issues such as governance, disinformation, and inclusion.

Through workshops, mentorship, and digital publishing opportunities, Scroll Stories transforms passive content consumers into conscious creators. It empowers youth to use fiction, humour, irony, and emotion to engage their peers, question narratives, and build civic awareness in subtle but powerful ways.

This initiative offers a unique opportunity to support media literacy, youth creativity, and democratic resilience in a rapidly evolving information landscape. It is storytelling with purpose, and a pipeline for a more informed, expressive, and empowered generation. Because sometimes, the most powerful truths are told one scroll at a time.
