Africa: Responding to Violence and HIV/AIDS: Digital Stories from Southern Africa

In March 2007, the Sonke Gender Justice Network partnered with Silence Speaks to co-ordinate two digital stortelling workshops focused on issues of gender, violence and HIV and AIDS in South Africa. Working with a team of trainers, men and women participants shared their own stories with one another; wrote and recorded first-person voiceover narrations; collected and generated still images and video cilps with which to illustrate their work; and gained the computer skills they needed to edit these materials into short digital videos.
