About the event:
Digital storytelling is “using the tools of digital media to craft, record, share and value the stories of individuals and communities, in ways that improve our lives” (Center for Digital Storytelling). Non-profit organizations can now leverage an ever growing number of tools to harness their stories, communicate with stakeholders, and further their mission.
This panel discussion will showcase some digital storytelling tools with examples of them at work, providing attendees with new mediums and skills in conveying your organization’s message.
