International Day for Sharing Life Stories

Find your time manager and circle in the date May 16th 2008. Why, you might ask. Because it’s time to value your friends, family and neighbors by listening to their stories.

“We want this day to be especially dedicated to celebrating and promoting life story projects that have made a difference within neighborhoods, communities, and societies as a whole” – say Karen Worcman, one of the principal organizer of the annual Sharing Life Stories day.

It’s the first year with an International Day for Sharing Life Stories and the goal of the campaign is to gain broad recognition of May 16 as an annual day for sharing, listening to, and gathering the stories of people’s lives.

to be an expensive affair. Most cell phones have a decent camera and video recording integrated which allows you to record small movies. Some phones even offer an integrated video edition tool.

By using your cell phone you can easily make digital stories – and the costs could hardly be closer to zero.

The aesthetics of a pocket movie is raw. It gives your movie a realistic and authentic expression. In the tradition of digital storytelling you can still tell your personal story and with the cell phone it is done very easily and almost without any costs.

So far we have only heard of two projects using pocket movies.

We would love to hear and see what you have done with your pocket movie. Tell us how you made it and send us a link it you want to share your movie with others.

See John Hartley in Denmark

Right now, I would love to be a Ph.d. student in the DREAM research consortium, since John Hartley will be giving a speak about Digital content creation: educational options and challenges on the second international DREAM conference (a conference for Ph.D students only).

John Hartley is the keynote speaker on the DREAM conference: Digital Content Creation: Creativity, Competence, Critique. I just love the title: Digital-Content-Creation. That is exactly what digital storytelling is about. To create content on computers or other digital devices, to obtain digital competences and to unfold a sceptical view on media content, publisher and consumers.

John Hartley is a well-reputed professor from the Queensland University of Technology. He is among the pioneers of media and cultural studies, and have published 16 books about how new media make impact on the cultural and historical institutions in our society.

The conference is to be held the 18-20 September 2008, University of Southern Denmark, Odense, Denmark.
