Digital Story Telling Workshops are being conducted at the Highpoint Neighborhood House. Area residents and Nahn Nguyen (at right) from White Center were there to share their stories about tobacco, healthy eating and active living.
A project called M.O.V.E (Mapping Our Voices for Equality) is in the process of conducting Digital storytelling workshops in Delridge and White Center. The goal is to create an online map with stories by local community members about tobacco and healthy eating and active living.
Abbie Zahler with International Community Health Services and in charge of the project said, "We are still collecting stories for our mapping project so there is not a map to view yet but you see some stories here: www.mappingvoices.com."
By mid-summer we will have a map created and stories will be embedded in the map so that you can connect a preson's story to their location."
In the workshop you will learn
- How to tell an effective story in just two minutes!
- Multimedia tools including digital photography, recording digital audio, video editing, and Google maps.
Total commitment: 4-6 hours of workshop time. Lunch provided. All recipients will receive a USB flash drive and gift card to local stores.
Dates and times can be determined by interested participants
