Digital Storytelling for Social Change: Domestic Violence Awareness Month and Beyond

Research shows that sharing and listening to real stories about real people can improve individual health and well being, educate and mobilize communities, inspire people to take action for change, and influence progressive policymaking. Since the early 1990s, StoryCenter has been exploring how first-person storytelling and participatory media practices can support domestic violence prevention education and advocacy.

In this one-hour introductory webinar, StoryCenter staff member Amy Hill discusses the theoretical underpinnings, methods, and impacts of their domestic violence work and creates space for questions and discussion about what resources and capacities are necessary for organizations interested in developing storytelling efforts for Domestic Violence Awareness Month and beyond.
