This interpretive study has used IPA as a framework to conduct and analyse data from focus group interviews
and digital stories by final-year pre-service teachers from CPUT. As is dictated by IPA the focus group
interview participants were purposively sampled to participate in the conversations. Ten students from different
races who participated in the digital storytelling programme were sampled. We wanted different races so we
could understand how different people perceive and experience digital storytelling in multicultural classrooms.
