Summary/Abstract: Digital Storytelling (DST) is an innovative educational method, increasingly used in formal and non-formal contexts. The purpose of this article is to review the literature from 2021 to 2026 to assess the role of DST in (1) promoting diversity acceptance, (2) supporting student-centered learning, and (3) developing a sense of belonging. The methodology consisted of a systematic analysis of the studies indexed in international databases. The results highlight the positive impact of DTS on the socioemotional and cognitive dimensions of students. The conclusions support the integration of this method into educational practice and school counseling.
