• Learn how to run a process that gives people a voice whilst keeping an ethical boundary around what you will publish.
• Find out why digital storytelling works best in groups.
• Discover how people can make their own film if their story is traumatic or enormous, or if they are semi-literate, or non-verbal or have never used a camera or a computer before.
