Building Solidarity, Inciting Change: Accessible Media Production Through Digital Storytelling

in
Scheduling
Session Description: 

Presenters: Laura Hadden, Center for Digital Storytelling; Tracy Gallardo, Adrianna Gallardo, Denise Guadiana & Nicole Tysvaer, Real Media

Digital storytelling provides a vital outlet for marginalized voices to build solidarity and incite change, regardless of the storyteller's technical background. The Center for Digital Storytelling will share powerful examples of this, as well as their workshop model itself, which allows participants to complete digital stories in three days. You will get to plant the seed for your own digital story and explore the importance of personal narrative first hand through two interactive writing exercises. The session will conclude with examples of digital storytelling projects from the Real Media Leadership Literacy Training project, an afterschool program based at a Western International High School in Southwest Detroit. The youth from Real Media will break down their process and share everything you need to know to get this kind of program started at your school, community center or wherever!
