Conflict, Creativity, and Capacity Building

Through Digital Storytelling

--Presentation by Candace Walworth

6th International Conflict Resolution Education Summit

Bridging Cultures:

Education for Global Citizenship and Civic Engagement

Cleveland, Ohio

June 12-17, 2013

This workshop introduces participants to digital storytelling, creating a bridge between personal voice and macro-level capacity building. Conference participants occupy diverse roles as global citizens – from college students to educators, to social workers and policy makers and more. Examples of digital stories that transform stereotypes, build relationships, and empower individuals and communities will be shared. Participants will learn ways of framing digital storytelling in the context of democratic education and civic engagement and explore storytelling first-hand, leaving with ideas for working with this medium in your own context.
