Center for Digital Storytelling (cen·ter
for dig·i·tal sto·ry·tell·ing)
The Center for Digital Storytelling (CDS) is an international non-profit
training, project development, and research organization dedicated to
assisting people in using digital media to tell meaningful stories from
their lives. Our focus is on building partnerships with community, educational,
and business institutions to develop large-scale initiatives in health,
social services, education, historic and cultural preservation, community
development, human rights, and environmental justice arenas, using methods
and principles adapted from our original Digital
Storytelling Workshop.
At the core of our work is an enduring respect for the power of individual
voices and a deep set of values
and principles that recognize how sharing and bearing witness to
stories can lead to learning, action, and positive change.
Over the last fifteen years, our work has spanned the United States
and Canada and spread around the world. Our clients
and funders
include grassroots groups and organizations in health and human services,
education, environmental and social justice, and arts, culture, and
historic preservation sectors across the globe.
