«Every community has a memory of itself.
Not a history, nor an archive, nor an
authoritative record...
A living memory, an awareness of a
collective identity woven of a thousand

NARRATIVAS DIGITAIS
O que são?
Many individuals and communities have used the term
\"digital storytelling\" to describe a wide variety of new
media production practices.
What best describes our approach is its emphasis on
personal voice and facilitative teaching methods.
Many of the stories made in our workshops are directly
connected to the images collected in life's journey. But
our primary concern is encouraging thoughtful and
emotionally direct writing.
