Session 1 - The Role of Digital Storytelling in Public Health
Storytelling can be a powerful, multi-dimensional tool for community-based public health program enhancement, strategic communication, and advocacy.
For the past 20 years, StoryCenter has been supporting researchers, educators, social justice organizers, and advocates in understanding how first person narrative and participatory digital media production can advance a broad range of public health goals. Please join us for this overview of our core methods and an exploration of how narrative can enhance your public health efforts.
Session 2 - Digital Storytelling for Global Health and Rights
For the past twelve years, StoryCenter’s Silence Speaks initiative has led the way in adapting our methods to support international public health and human rights promotion. This webinar offers an overview of the theory behind this work, a glimpse of current projects, and an introduction to the myriad ethical considerations that practitioners and advocates must address in designing impactful storytelling and participatory media efforts around the world.
