Berkeley's acclaimed StoryCenter, the founders of the international movement in participatory media known as Digital Storytelling, will bring a customized version of their Train-the-trainer workshop to Miami University Campus for three days, Tuesday-Thursday, March 10-12, as part of the 18th Annual Race, Class, Gender, and Sexuality (RCGS) Symposium this spring. The workshop will combine a two day version of their workshop where participants learn the approach and methods as Digital Storytelling coaches, with a one day special workshop for a larger group of participants to make a short media piece supported by the newly trained coaches and StoryCenter staff.  
 
The workshop will cover:
 
  • Introduction to the Seven Steps of Digital Storytelling
  • Group sharing and feedback in a facilitated Story Circle
  • Script writing and voice recording
  • Image preparation and storyboarding
  • Video editing: transitions, effects, music, and titles
  • Support on the production of a two to four minute digital story
  • Group story screening
