Digital Storytelling Series (Week 4/5)
2023-02-08 10:00 - 12:00
Finding ways to help your story unfold!
We all have stories, and it’s important that they are told. When telling our stories, we have different ways of going about it. Let’s work together so that each of us can discover new skills and find our own tools to tell our story.
You will work together for 5 weeks, alongside others, to share and develop your very own digital story. Each week we will bring in activities to help participants tell their story the way they want to tell it.
These activities will introduce creative ways to go about telling your story. These will include lots of digital tools that support audio and visual storytelling. When you finish the sessions, you will achieve a Digital Storyteller Certificate that you can add to your resume to show your experience and be part of an online screening of your work.
These sessions are facilitated by Story Finders Heath Birkholz and Maigan van der Giessen from Gateway Association.
