Center for Digital Storytelling: Listen Deeply, Tell Stories

Center for Digital Storytelling (cen·ter for dig·i·tal sto·ry·tell·ing)
The Center for Digital Storytelling (CDS) is an international non-profit training, project development, and research organization dedicated to assisting people in using digital media to tell meaningful stories from their lives. Our focus is on building partnerships with community, educational, and business institutions to develop large-scale initiatives in health, social services, education, historic and cultural preservation, community development, human rights, and environmental justice arenas, using methods and principles adapted from our original Digital Storytelling Workshop.

Whose Agenda Is It, Anyway? Documentary Burdens, Community Benefits

"In the end, how we understand the nature of community itself may be influenced deeply by the many interactions at the core of documentary work. From research and preservation projects—such as Behind the Veil: Documenting African American Life in the Jim Crow South, which gives light to the monumental efforts made by African Americans to build their own communities and institutions during that oppressive period in the nation's history—to educational programs in documentary studies that create communities of practitioners to documentary projects that engage people in the collaborative dance of pursuing individual and shared goals, the documentary process can advance collective principles that both define and serve communities. Sharing these ideas, and putting them into practice, turns the documentary process into a crucible for real change in community life, both in the present and, over time, leading into a markedly different future."

"And what is more, if we have done our job appropriately, people will question the aesthetic, the process and the final product — how frustrating and frightening and, hopefully, how glorious. In the end, community-based practice reconfigures the artist-artwork-audience equation, spinning it from monologue into dialogue. There is, though, quite a lot of inherent risk in this undertaking, when art moves off the stage and into the "place" — particularly with regard to young people — making it can become a high-stakes issue."
