Digital Storytelling for Advocacy Workshop
January 26, 2016
5:30-7:30 PM
South Campus Center, Room 308
Learn and apply participatory digital storytelling (DS) to reflect on and share your experiences working with people marginalized by poverty and homelessness. DS workshop and video software (WeVideo) are both free.
DS refers to short video personal narratives that incorporate digital images, music, and voice-over narration by the person making the video. Developed in the early 1990s, DS has been used for public health research, training, and policy campaigns (e.g. Silence Speaks: silencespeaks.org); community building, and reflective practice. DS is increasingly used as an innovative community-based participatory method that is especially effective at informing program planners and policy makers of the lived experiences of marginalized people.
Workshop facilitator: Josephine Ensign, DrPH--associate professor in the UW School of Nursing--who has training and experience using participatory DS (see website 'Medical Margins' under 'Soul Stories' and 'Skid Road' for examples of recent DS videos). This event is funded, in part, from a grant from 4Culture.
