KQED - Featured Projects

Their Voices, Their Stories

They write the script, they choose the images, they create the piece. It's their story in their (multimedia) voice. Our young people.

Reading Rainbow 2005

These are the digital stories read by the winning authors from the young writers and illustrators contest.
MUSE

You could say that story is the pretext for getting together in a personal way.

The Projects of KQED's Digital Story Initiative

We are in the final stages of getting permissions to post the stories participants in our workshops have created over the last year. They number almost 200. We won't be posting all of them, but it is clear to us that everyone has a story to make.

KQED is often asked to conduct speciality workshops; these are grouped as projects. We also have "open workshops," were all are welcome to find, tell, create, and publish their personal digital stories. These we have grouped by theme. Groupings aside, all these stories are uniquely wonderful.

Check back often; we'll be adding stories weekly. Meanwhile, the winning stories from our Coming to California digital storytelling contest for high school seniors are up. Check them out.
