Our Stories: Digital Storytelling Workshop
August 21, 22, 23 in Columbus | workshop details and application
The purpose of the Our Stories Project is to amplify the voices of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and allied Ohioans and educate communities by sharing the truth about who we are as people.
Equality Ohio is accepting applications to participate in an intensive, 3-day workshop (August 21, 22, 23) taught by experts from the Center for Digital Storytelling. It is an opportunity for you to make a digital story (short video) about your experience as an LGBT or allied Ohioan. Each video will be made by combining your story – written and recorded by you, from your perspective – with still images and music. In order to be selected for this workshop, you must agree to allow your story to be shown online, on television, and in public settings like community centers, colleges, libraries, and theaters or distributed on DVD.
Your story will be used to educate people about what life is like for LGBT Ohioans and to encourage others to get involved in making an Ohio where everyone feels at home. Maximum number of participants is 10. We will maintain a waiting list. Ohioans from every part of the state are encouraged to apply, a few travel scholarships will be made available.

This workshop is made possible through a partnership of Equality Ohio Education Fund, the Center for Digital Storytelling, and the Digital Union at The Ohio State University.
