Programs and Projects - Digital Storytelling: Stories Against Violence
In collaboration with Deaf Women Against Violence Everywhere (DWAVE), the project focuses on producing 3-5 minute videos about violence and simultaneously provides participants with the opportunity to learn about how to use computers and media techonology.
Some of the objectives of this project include:
- Designing and planning an accessible digital storytelling program to explore violence issues facing Deaf women and girls
- Empowering Deaf young women and girls to be able to represent themselves and tell their stories through digital storytelling.
- Using digital stories as a tool to engage communities in understanding violence against Deaf women and girls
Some of the planned activities include:
- Offering a digital storytelling program (around 10 workshops, 3 hours each) to DWAVE members, new members etc; in this group we will create a collection of digital stories
- Offering a digital storytelling program to young women and girls
- DWAVE members may be involved as peer leaders in this program, do outreach for the participants and so on
- Holding an event to showcase the digital stories
- Put digital stories on a website and share with the world!
