A Campus-Wide Digital Storytelling Class
Once again, Antioch professors Elizabeth Burke and Sue Woehrlin are offering a community-wide digital storytelling course here at Antioch University Seattle in the spring that is open to alumni auditors for free (on a space available basis).
As alumni of AUS programs themselves, Elizabeth and Sue are both aware of the mutual benefits that accrue when alumni actively participate in campus learning activities. They have had 3-4 alumni auditors each of the last two years who found it a wonderful experience — and students in turn loved having real live graduates of our programs learning along side them. Indeed some of the alumni who audited the digital storytelling course last year are continuing on in a professional network they’ve started to support practitioners in the greater Seattle area who include digital storytelling as a facet of their work.
To express interest, alumni should email Sue @ swoehrlin@antioch.edu or call (206)268- 4411. Details are listed below.
Spring 2010:
A Campus-Wide Digital Storytelling Class
The ancient art of storytelling is brought to new life in the digital age. For millennia stories have given voice to individual and collective memories, identities, dreams and yearnings for change. User-friendly technology available on most computers allows anyone to make a personal digital movie, making this an accessible and highly democratic medium. Resulting stories become vehicles for personal transformation, clarifying organizational values and visions, community empowerment, social change, and exemplars of hope and healing.
Participants will each craft a story with photos, artifacts, video/audio clips, music and a narrated script to create a 3 – 5 minute digital movie.
Saturdays, April 10, 24, May 8 & 22
9 a.m. – 5 p.m.
As a campus-wide learning activity, this is a special opportunity for students, faculty, staff and alumni to learn together.
convened by Sue Woehrlin & Elizabeth Burke
