The power of digital story telling

The act of telling a story is a deceptively simple and familiar process, a way to evoke powerful emotions and insights. By contrast, working with stories in organisational settings – to aid reflection, build communities, transfer practical learning or capitalize experiences – is more complicated.

A Guide STORY GUIDE Building Bridges Using Narrative Techniques was designed by the Thematic Service Knowledge and Research of the Swiss Development Co-operation (SDC) to be both thought provoking and of some practical use to SDC and its collaborators and partners. The materials contained in the guide should help develop competence and confidence as tellers or facilitators of telling and may also support the development of more complex methodologies and programmes involving knowledge sharing, change and communication. In it you will find:

  • Tips, templates and tools to help you find,
    share and capitalize experience.
  • Reflections on the practical and the emotional
    aspects of story telling.
  • Consideration of the challenges and risks in
    institutionalising these approaches.
  • Illustrations from SDC’s experience so far of
    putting stories to work.

Insights into Participatory Video: A handbook for the field
Indigenous knowledge and local initiatives are usually documented and disseminated by outsiders, who make their own interpretations in the process. Participatory Video (PV) provides an opportunity for rural people to document their own knowledge and experiences and to express their wants and hopes from their own perspectives.

  6. I ԁon't leave a leave a response, but I looked at a few of the comments here "The power of digital story telling". I do have a couple of questions for you if you do not mind. Could it be just me or do some of the responses appear like they are left by brain dead folks? :-P And, if you are posting on other sites, I would like to keep up with anything new you have to post. Would you post a list of all of your social sites like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
