Voices to End FGM/C 7-week virtual digital storytelling workshop
ZoomThe application for our fall 2022 Voices to End FGM/C online digital storytelling workshop is open! The workshop is scheduled for 4-6 pm Pacific / 7-9 pm Eastern (U.S. time), on six Mondays starting Monday, October 24 and continuing through Monday, December 5, 2022 (no meeting Monday, November 21, Thanksgiving week). It's open to those who have experienced FGM/C, as well as family members, friends, advocates, and others who would like to share a story about why it needs to end. During the workshop, each participant will learn to create their own simple video through the use of voiceover audio, still images, and video clips. This participatory media process will be guided by facilitators from Sahiyo and StoryCenter. If you’re interested in taking part, please fill out an application by Friday, October 7, 2022.
