Center for Digital Storytelling
Digital Stories are typically…
1. Self Relevatory The author shares new insights giving the story a sense of immediacy and discovery.
2. Personal or First Person Voice Personal reflections on a subject. Convey emotion about subjects that have deep meaning for the author.
3. About lived experience told in a series of scenes told by the author.
4. More photos than moving images.
5. Soundtrack to add meaning and impact.
6. Intention More about self-expression than publication and audience.
From: “Digital Storytelling: Capturing Lives, Creating Community.” By Joe Lambert
4. Types of Digital Stories
Character stories Most stories inspired by relationships, love, and exploring meaning in relationships that are important to us.
Memorial stories An important part of the grieving process. Honouring and remembering people.
Adventure and Accomplishment Stories About a trip (often best planned in advance) About graduating, getting a job…
About a place in my life A home, room, city or town
The story about what I do My job…How it has impacted my life…
Recovery stories Sharing the experience of overcoming a great challenge in life. Document descent, crisis, realization.
Love stories Dream stories Coming of age stories
From: “Digital Storytelling: Capturing Lives, Creating Community.” By Joe Lambert
5. Seven Steps of Digital Storytelling (CDS)
1. Owning your insight
3. Owning your emotions
2. Finding the moment
4. Seeing your story
5. Hearing your story
6. Assembling your story
7. Sharing your story
6. StoryTurns “The audience gets used to hearing the
same [mass media] formulations. It doesn’t really feel it. It doesn’t feel sympathy nor responsibility…As a journalist, I try to reclaim this reality from the clichés, from the banalities, from the stereotypical formulations.” -- David Grossman
Supporting people to tell their own stories
Reporting on the survivors of conflict and disaster
Training with CDS and the University of Colorado Denver
Facilitation grounded in mindfulness or Insight meditation practice and yoga
Hallmarks of our workshops are safety and well being of all participants, compassion and care.
7. Tools for Content Production
WeVideo.com iMovie
Tablets Computers
8. How to find participants and encourage potential participation
StoryTurns partners with community organizations (health, education, youth, seniors, human services, and more)
Everyone has a story.
9. Ethics and Care Primary concern: To ensure a place of safety for
storytellers
Meet with potential participants in the weeks before a workshop. Talk about the workshop process.
Gives participants a chance to decide if they want to participate.
During the workshop Keep groups small (6 – 10 people)
Always have trained counselors and support staff from partner organizations present
Take rejuvenating breaks…Eat meals together to ease anxiety…
Keep in touch with participants after workshop

10. What impacts can Digital Storytelling have?
“With the creation of a narrative, a fragmented present tense becomes a coherent past tense.
To narrate one’s life is to have agency. To know and feel this agency is important for everyone, especially for those who have been victimized.”
– Michelle Citron, 1999
11. Is it therapeutic?
“People realize that they can begin to transform their suffering by sharing it – first by articulating it to themselves, then to the small group, and perhaps, to the world. Then the sense of isolation and hopelessness begins to diminish, and a new hope is found in the community and communion of storytellers.”
– Pip Hardy / Tony Sumner (Patient Voices, UK)
Dianne Tobin and Larry Love
Providence Health Care patients
Digital storytelling participants
12. Digital storytelling about health
“To humanize health care through highlighting the human side of experience of health, illness, health care and the lack of it.” – Pip Hardy / Tony Sumner (Patient Voices, UK)
“Stories of health, life, death and disease can offer us deep insights into not only the storyteller, but the storyteller’s family and cultural traditions – if only we are prepared to listen.” -- Pip Hardy / Tony Sumner (Patient Voices, UK)
Purposes and Applications To inspire systemic changes (e.g. HIV screening,
free vaccines, etc.)
To raise awareness
To evaluate research and programs
From: “Digital Storytelling: Capturing Lives, Creating Community.” By Joe Lambert
