What others have said:

  • “The Goldfields Digital Storytellers Program has provided an excellent opportunity for the young people of our Shire to share the stories the stories that matter to them. The team from Digital Storytellers have been ideal mentors; they’ve provided technically savvy and artistic advice while ensuring the young film makers made the films that were important to them."

    - David SuttonPrincipal, Maryborough Education Centre

  • “The Storytelling Project was a central part of CEHL’s celebration of the 30 years of co-operative housing program (2016). The project captured co-op members’ personal stories of living and working in co-operative housing."

    - Sandra Castro Communications Manager, Common Equity Housing Ltd

  • "We knew nothing about filming/editing or about getting our message across to an audience. These guys gave us the basics and then encouraged us just give it a crack. They gave us skills, but above all they encouraged us to believe in ourselves and the stories we had to share..."

    - GabrielleCo-Founder, Walk Sew Good

  • “The video story that was developed during the workshop is a powerful piece of digital storytelling featuring African young women speaking to other young women to encourage them to speak up, know they are not alone and offer peer education and relevant information to seek assistance when they need it"

    - An extract from the Zig Zag Young Women’s Resource CentreProject Report, June 2017

  • “I enjoyed seeing the end results of everyone’s work (the videos we all made were excellent) and how practical and interactive the course was. I was most surprised that a total newbie like me could actually come away after 2 days with an actual clip that’s actually half-decent and feel totally inspired to create some more!”
