In our evolving effort to bring our workshops online, StoryCenter is now offering a 10-week course on the digital storytelling facilitation process.

In a series of engaging, two-hour online sessions, we will review and apply StoryCenter’s core principles, curricula, and teaching approaches. Using Digital Storytelling: Story Work for Urgent Times as our textbook, the course will cover material traditionally addressed in our advanced face-to-face workshops, including the Facilitator Intensive, Master Class, Story Facilitation, and Stories Seen Workshops.  

This workshop requires attendance at ten online sessions on Thursdays, from October 9th through December 18th 2025. Each session is two hours and begins at 11am Pacific Time/ 2pm Eastern Time.

There will be no session on Thursday November 27, 2025.
