Seattle Youth Violence Prevention Initiative — Digital Storytellers

Seattle Youth Violence Prevention Initiative — Digital Storytellers:

Via Digital Stoop. Follow link for full story.



Occasional Seattle media-maker Amber Cortes just sent me an email reminding me to check out the homepage for the Seattle Youth Violence Prevention Initiative. She designed it using a simple WordPress theme and encouraged youth to use the platform to tell their own stories.



Guess what? That’s exactly what they’re doing. I’ll share just one video that’s up on the site, but seriously, anyone who want to see how empowered youth can feel when they tell their own stories rather than have others speak for them, hit up the SYVPI homepage and use it as a teaching model if nothing else.
