International Day for Sharing Life Stories
The Digital Storytelling Team of staff from University Libraries, Technology Enhanced Learning and Research, and Faculty and TA Development is planning an OSU campus event to coincide with the International Day for Sharing Life Stories in conjunction with The Center for Digital Storytelling.
Friday, May 16, 2008
The day is billed as an “opportunity for people around the world to gather in community halls, classrooms, public parks, theaters, auditoriums, as well websites, email exchanges, and virtual environments to hear each other’s stories. We want this day to be especially dedicated to celebrating and promoting Life Story projects that have made a difference within neighborhoods, communities, and societies as a whole.”
