We do not need to teach creativity, but rather inspire its daily practice. Somewhere along the way, we simply forgot to honor this innate gift and how to access its power. Our role as educators is to encourage learning experiences that increase the ability to recognize and listen to our inner voice.

Mission We surface authentic voices around the world through group process and participatory media creation. Our programs support people in sharing and bearing witness to stories that lead to learning, action, and positive change. What We Do For nearly twenty years, the Center has been supporting people in sharing meaningful stories from their lives. Our unique workshops assist participants in producing short, first-person narratives that can be presented in a variety of traditional and social media formats. We provide non-threatening production environments in which the process of creation is valued as much as the stories created. Through partnerships with a range of organizations, institutions, and funders, we offer story making and story distribution services that prioritize the power of individual voices. Whether you're interested in storytelling for professional development, as a reflective practice, as a pedagogical strategy, or as a vehicle for education, community mobilization, or advocacy, we are recognized globally as experts in all things digital storytelling.

When students create a movie or interactive slide show to tell their story, learning becomes personal. Students can improve their writing, show creativity, and have a voice.

Like paintings, personal narrative stories that mix images, graphics, sound, and music with the author's own  storytelling voice will exist over time and be enjoyed long past their creation. The ideas and content for this Digital  storytelling guide have been compiled and written by Bernajean Porter, whose book, DigiTales: The Art of Telling  Digital Stories, includes detailed step-by-step processes for bringing this emerging oral storytelling style into today's  classrooms.  Learn how software like Adobe Photoshop Elements and Adobe Premiere Elements can become effective digital  storytelling tools in your classroom. Unleash your students' imagination as they create unique, personal 3-to 5- minute movies.
