There are multiple uses of the interactivity feature, let's explore them.

Interactivity

Find a social movement or enterprise that interests you. Create a storyboard detailing the overarching scope of the group and/or initiative. These adventures should highlight the social issue, the manner in which awareness was made, and how these efforts unfolded. You also have the option to hone in on a key figure within a social movement or enterprise documenting their advocacy journey. If picking an individual, make sure to include the means of communication or storytelling they utilized.
