Abstract

A Weblog including streaming video and photo galleries (video blog or vlog, for short) is described which helps young people in the socially underprivileged suburb of Moisling, a part of the hanseatic city of Luebeck (Germany), to express their own views, to develop their creative skills and to support their self esteem. Therefore, video entries to the vlog are created by the young people themselves under supervision of film professionals and supported by social initiatives. The vlog is using the digital story telling approach of "Digital Lives" in order to combine creative use of social Web-TV with social integration and crime prevention.
