It's Hard to Capture
"It’s hard to capture in a few words how Creative Narrations manages to to build new capacity in people far from power. We’ve seen Creative Narrations facilitators at work with people who are not sure what exactly is a narrative, much less think they might have one worthy of communicating to others. Yet, in such a short period of time, the great facilitating, teaching and coaching skills make it possible for people to create a sophisticated digital story that has great meaning to them. It also has meaning that goes well beyond one individual personal narrative...The new digital storytellers show how powerful personal stories can combine art with visions of personal and social change." - Dan Rothstein, The Right Question Project, Cambridge, MA
Shaped my Life
"The experience and process of creating a digital story allowed me to not only develop skills I did not know I had but also allowed me to share a story that has shaped my life. The guidance I received from my trainers allowed me to remain independent and creative and at the same time gave me a medium in which to relay my story in a concise and powerful manner." - Workshop participant, 2009
Given Me a Voice
