Every
organization has a story to tell. But yours doesn't have to be a bland,
corporate-sounding video or canned sound bite. Even with limited resources,
time, or skills, your nonprofit can tell a compelling story that captures the
importance and impact of your cause - and we've got an event that
will show you how!
Mark
your calendars for TechSoup Global's Digital Storytelling Online Event! This
free event will take place across three separate platforms: webinars, forums
and the virtual world of Second Life. The webinar portion will take place over
two days: Wednesday, September 30th and Thursday, October 1st. The Digital
Storytelling Online Event's discussions will occur in the TechSoup forums with expert hosts
from the webinars. You'll have the opportunity to ask questions and
engage on a deeper level with the event hosts.
Visit the event webpage at: http://www.techsoup.org/tsdigs. Register to receive email

terrific audio-visual message for the event that you can check out: http://play.goldmail.com/4ztg4ias9mvt

What do we mean by Digital Storytelling?
According
to Wikipedia ,
"Digital Storytelling refers to using digital tools so that ordinary
people can tell their own real-life stories." Nonprofits are among the
storytellers who are using digital tools to tell compelling stories, showcase
their work, engage their constituents, and spread awareness.
At
our Digital Storytelling Event, our nonprofit partners and partner companies
providing digital storytelling tools will show you step-by-step how to tell
your story as a captivating, sensory, visual, and audio experience and showcase
inspiring nonprofit case studies to demonstrate the power of digital
storytelling in engaging your audience. Whether you're a nonprofit video
veteran or you're just starting to share your mission through online images and
audio, the Digital Storytelling Event will provide you with information about
the latest digital storytelling tools and how to acquire them at a discounted
nonprofit rate through our TechSoup Stock program.
