Our Process
We hope that the following vignettes and resources support and inspire you in creating workshops and lesson plans of your own.
6. Video Watching & Debrief
Showcasing videos made by and for youth
9. Closing
Reflecting, digesting, and affirming as a whole group
10. Follow up
Check ins and referrals as needed
11. Post-workshop Activities
Activities to deepen and continue the learning
12. Life-long Learning
Accept and expect non-closure, words of wisdom as the journey continues
Many of the methods, ideas, and activities mapped out here draw from the collective wisdom of the creative commons, but it is worth highlighting some of the folks who have been instrumental in contributing to this pool of knowledge:
Rup Sidhu, Sara Kendall, Romi Chandra, PEERnet BC, Nadim Kara, Josephine Tcheng, PYE Global, Power of Youth, Angela Brown, and the late great Peter Wanyenya.
METHODS
Some of the articles below begin to articulate the methodologies that have informed and have emerged through AMES practices, and within the broader community-based digital storytelling movement.
During our initial research interviews, mentors and facilitators shared what they’d learned about Community Digital Storytelling (CDS), based on their years of experience.
Community Digital Storytelling grows out of our experiences in the world, shared as stories. Our strategy, as mentors developing new approaches to storytelling, is to create and hold open a receptive and welcoming space.
