Tags: Digital Storytelling

I learned how to create digital stories through working with Bridges to Understanding, a nonprofit based in Seattle that connects children in different countries through digital storytelling.  I am currently studying to become an Occupational Therapist and am very interested in the therapeutic application of digital stories. I have created a few digital stories based on my experiences swing dancing with arthritis.  I'm looking forward to seeing all the stories that have been created by people on the Stories for Change community!

As a historian I have always been attracted to egohistory as this reflects the impact of formal history on individual's lives. This makes every lifestory worthwhile to tell and to record. In Verhalis we aim to do this using all kinds of audiovisual means. We record stories to pass the on to other generations.... stories that otherwise disappear.....

I have participated in a number of projects that aimend at the augmentation of heritage awareness. F.e. I developed the initial concept for a film festival that presents the re=use of found footage. Is has become an annual event. Furthermore we developed a revolutionary audio film (based on 10:2 surround audio) that takes you into a 19th century romance on a castle. Lately I have become the co-producer of a education concept for the dutch primary schools where children get introduced to culture and liberal arts.
