One of my most significant storytelling interests is the idea of using stories to spark change. That’s the concept behind the site Stories for Change, described this way:
Stories for Change aims to connect and extend the network of workshop facilitators and organizations that have come together in community-based digital storytelling workshops. The site provides a space for members and visitors to share their favorite curriculum ideas, post the stories they create, and engage in meaningful conversations around the stories they watch. The power of community digital storytelling workshops rests in their ability to inspire, connect, and incite action within and between local groups; the goal of Stories for Change is to further nurture that spirit online.
The site provides the opportunity to upload digital stories (216 populate the site at this writing) and has a nice Resources section, featuring Articles, Case Studies, Curricula, Links, Methodology, Presentations, and Tutorials. Forums on the site enable visitors to discuss the site and various aspects of digital storytelling for change. Digital storytelling events also are listed.
