Access Learners, what do you do in a Storycord Workshop?

First, you’ll brainstorm your story, carefully choosing words like colorful threads for a special artwork, to make it interesting and meaningful.

Just like making a beautiful tapestry, you’ll connect different parts of your story and add descriptive details.

You’ll bring your story to life by recording your words in your own voice and taking interesting images to illustrate it.

Next, with other Access students, you learn how to weave your words, voice recordings, and pictures to create an impactful digital story.

At the end of the workshop, there will be a special celebration where you can share your own story with everyone.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll have the skills to create amazing multimedia stories that blend different elements in a creative way.

Your story can help you talk about your life experiences when applying for other programs like FLEX!

Get ready to showcase your storytelling skills and gain valuable knowledge in creating powerful digital stories!
