This study examined students' perspectives on the impact of an animated storyline surrounding the Sustainable Developmental Goals. Qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted with students who participated in the storyline to gain insight on its impact on their learning experience. Results suggest that animated storylines can provide students the opportunity to express empathy toward individuals and communities facing global health challenges, recognize their positionality in relation to others living in different circumstances, and can encourage students to retain and apply the knowledge gained to global health projects. Through the results of this study, we illustrate how storylines might be used to enhance global health pedagogy.
