Muy Bien! Digital Storytelling @ IBA

Categories:

Room Full of Storytellers (behind)I just finished my first MassIMPACT Spreading the Stories three and 1/2 day digital storytelling train-the-trainer workshop, hosted graciously by Inquilinos Boricuas en Acción (IBA) and the El Batey Technology Center of the Villa Victoria housing development in the South End of Boston. It was the first of two workshops I'm doing this spring in the South End, trying to foster some REALLY local working groups of digital storytelling facilitators. I pitched the idea to David Kay of IBA and Giles Li of Boston Chinatown Neighborhood Center (BCNC) after they both mentioned in separate meetings that they were interested in incorporating digital storytelling into their existing youth and adult programs. As it turns out, they knew each other already and knew of some other interested community workers at the Castle Square Technology Center. I pulled in my fellow Mass Housing cohort, Seline, and a new friend Jayme from Mandela Residents Cooperative Association and our group was complete.
