Carers Week 2007 – 14-20 October
For Carers Week Accessible Arts presented a Digital Storytelling demonstration to indigenous carers at the Cabravale Leisure Centre (Cabramatta) and to AFFORD carers at their lovely Sensory Centre (Canley Vale) .
Digital Storytelling is story making using technology!!
Storytelling is the ancient art of conveying events in words, images, and sounds. Stories have been shared in every culture as a means of entertainment, education, preservation of culture and to instil knowledge and values. The earliest forms of storytelling were primarily oral combined with gestures and expressions and were traditionally passed from generation to generation, surviving solely by memory. Since the appearance of technology, the tools available to storytellers have changed. Nowadays, we have sound recorders, digital cameras, computers and various types of software to make and tell our stories. And so, Digital Storytelling is the practice of combining narrative with digital content, including images, sound, and video, to create a short movie, usually with strong emotional content.
