Our Storytelling Workshops
Workshop participants will develop their digital media skills while exploring the powerful role storytelling can play in personal and community life. DigEx workshops weave together the technical, creative, and social strands of storytelling practices from story circles to story interviewing to digital storytelling. Participants experiment with innovative narrative approaches, work closely with one another in a supportive, collaborative environment.

Our Social Media Workshops
How can nonprofits and rural communities understand, sift through and use social media to support and enhance internal and external communications, connections and creativity? Workshop participants will explore a full range of social media options, from wikis to blogs, and micro-blogging to RSS, and learn to design and incorporate effective social media strategies suited to their mission and goals.
