Watch Your Audience Grow

I was listening to Mike Harding’s Folk on 2 podcast on the way into work this. It was a look back at the summer’s festivals. At the Cambridge Folk Festival this year they had a Tree of Lost Things. People wrote thing they’ve lost or things that are missing from their life onto brown luggage tags which they than hung from the tree’s branches.

What a great idea.

In Boulder, Colorado, 50 or so students are attending the "Tell Your Story" program at the new Visual Arts Complex at CU. The eight-day program wraps up July 29 with an exhibit of the students’ work. 30 of the digital storytellers aren’t native English speakers.

I think digital storytelling is a great ice breaker when it comes to integrating diverse sections of a community:

Where: Maryland USA - Delmarva Discovery Center on the Pocomoke River in Pocomoke. 2 W. Market St. near Pocomoke’s downtown.

When: July 28, 10am-4pm

Libraries in Worcester and Somerset counties are partnering with the Delmarva Discovery Center to record the unique stories at a July 28 session. Stories that offer a look at the region before technology changed the lifestyles of its residents are especially welcomed. Organizers also want to document and record childhood stories or other memories that natives of the region want to share during a special taping. Participants also should bring along documents or photographs related to their stories.

The project was made possible through a grant from the Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore, and recordings will be compiled and included in a Digital Storytelling Project conducted by libraries in the two counties.
