The workshops
‘Digital stories are a new medium through which narrative art can be explored and made accessible so that 'ordinary' people can articulate their extra-ordinary understandings.’
Professor Paul Stanton, 2007
We offer workshops to suit a range of interests and levels of expertise. We can organise bespoke, in-house workshops for particular staff or client groups. Support and consultancy are available at every stage of the process, on the workshops themselves, on integrating digital stories and digital storytelling with education programmes and to ensure that the stories are suitable for use in a variety of contexts.
Patient Voices digital storytelling workshops
These workshops are the core element of the programme. Run over two or three days, they provide a safe, facilitated and empowering space in which a goup of storytellers can come together and work cooperatively to share, distill and create their digital stories.
A Patient Voices workshop is typically commisioned by a sponsoring organisation to facilitate six to ten storytellers creating digital stories of their experiences. These workshops can be held in Cambridge, or in suitable premises near the sponsoring organisation. The stories then go through post-production at Pilgrim Projects before final approval and release to the Patient Voices website.
Each of these workshops is customised to ensure that it meets the needs and capabilities of storytellers and sponsors. We apply a rigorous system of informed consent and approval that ensures storytellers are empowered and retain control over their stories.
To understand the powerful, effective and affective nature of the stories told in the Patient Voices workshops, please look at a few of those on the Stories page of the website.
For more information, or to discuss your needs, please contact Pip Hardy or Tony Sumner at Pilgrim Projects.
Introduction to digital storytelling workshops
Introduction to digital storytelling workshops are for people who want to learn more about the process of digital storytelling. You may want make your own story, or you may be considering engaging Pilgrim Projects to run a Patient Voices digital storytelling workshop for your organisation; the two-day workshop will give you a better understanding of the process storytellers will go through.
Digital storytelling facilitation workshops
This intensive training programme takes place over five or six days and is suitable for those who have already attended a digital storytelling workshop, done some further digital storytelling work, and who expect to be helping others to make digital stories in the longer term. They include exercises and activities that can be used to elicit stories and practice in facilitation and in using the technology. These workshops are intended to provide a sponsoring organisation with a better understanding of the facilitation of digital storytelling, so that their staff may co-facilitate with Pilgrim Projects on large-scale digital storytelling programmes.
