Digital Storytelling Event 3.10.04

[Shauna Leff]

Hi Everyone,
My name is Shauna Leff and I work at BAVC (Bay Area Video Coalition) in 
San Francisco. BAVC is a noncommercial media access and training center 
with programs geared towards youth and adults. Over the past year we've 
been working on a project called BrainGlow: Ideas and tools for Digital 
Storytelling. It shows and instructs youth in the myriad methods that 
stories can be created with simple digital tools. It also contains dozens 
of stories created by young mediamakers, as well as over twenty-five 
interactive learning activities, a teachers workbook, and a multi-track 
storybuilding timeline.

If you or anyone else you know is in New York City next week, we would 
love for you to join us at Listen Up! for our BrainGlow release event on 
Wednesday, March 10, 6p-8p. It's a great opportunity to meet other youth 
organizations and people doing digital storytelling work. This event will 
include a BrainGlow presentation, discussion and light refreshments. 
Storytellers and media-makers of all ages welcome! The cost is free. All 
we're asking is that you RSVP since the space is limited. Click on the 
link below for more details.

If you can't make the event and want to know more about digital 
storytelling, feel free to contact us. Definitely let us know if you're in 
the San Francisco Bay Area. We always have different events and workshops 
going on and would love to get you involved.  If you already have a 
program up and running and would like to be listed in our online 
resources, send me an e-mail with a few sentences about your organization, 
program and web site address.

<p>Best regards,
