Digital Stories, New Perspectives – AI-Powered Content Creation with Saran Sidibé

05.06.2025

As part of this year’s KIDS FILMFESTIVAL KIFIFE at the Opera Village, we explored new ground with digital strategist and AI content creator Saran Sidibé. In a hands-on workshop, she introduced young participants to the world of digital content – combining creativity, technical skills, and a special focus on the everyday potential of artificial intelligence.

With a mix of theoretical input and practical exercises, Saran demonstrated how to use AI tools to develop stories, create content, and share it effectively on digital platforms. Working in small groups, the participants brainstormed ideas for short projects – from videos to social media posts – and learned how to bring them to life using innovative digital tools.

Saran Sidibé, founder of the consulting agency Digital Addict, combines her passion for technology with years of experience in digital marketing. She has a talent for explaining complex topics in an engaging and accessible way – inspiring young people to see themselves as active creators in the digital space. She places strong emphasis on a conscious and creative approach to new technologies, as well as equitable access to digital education.

The workshop clearly demonstrated how digital tools can empower young people: participants developed not only technical skills but also confidence, media literacy, and a strong sense of collaboration. The session concluded with a small presentation of their projects – each one a reflection of the students’ individual perspectives and creativity.

We are proud to have brought another exciting format to life through Saran Sidibé’s AI workshop as part of the KIFIFE Festival – and we thank all contributors and supporters who make such opportunities possible. Today, cultural education also means digital participation – and it begins with the courage to explore new ideas.
