At Digital Storytellers, we’re committed to making impact storytelling accessible to everyone. This week, our team, along with some residents of Impact Story Lab, took part in an inspiring Neuroinclusive Connections Workshop with our Lab partner, Wondiverse. Madeleine Jaine Lobsey guided us through an engaging process that helped us better understand one another and explore ways to make the Impact Story Lab, our programs, and our communication more inclusive. It was both fun and enlightening! With 1 in 40 people in Australia on the autism spectrum, it’s worth taking some time to consider how inclusive your workplace, events, and programs truly are. Please let us know if there’s ever anything we can do to make you feel more comfortable engaging with us.

We’ve had the great pleasure of supporting SMART Recovery Australia to tell their impact stories, plus that of their programs. We love how their work creates a safe judgement free space in society for all those struggling with addiction, and want to see their work succeed! Humbled to be a part of it.

It's been a big year for us at Digital Storytellers. From launching our Impact Story Lab Sydney to running our first Pathways to Purpose program, we've had the opportunity to enact our mission in new and exciting ways. Coming into our 10th year of business, there's never been a better time to join our community of impact storytellers.  At the core of what we do is creating a more connected world for our storytellers. Each initiative we've pursued has helped us get a little closer to this vision.  In 2025, we are committed to expanding our community of storytellers - and there's plenty of ways you can get involved.  Whether you attend one of our workshops or programs, visit us at the Lab or co-create with us to tell your story, we welcome what the new year brings.  Stay connected with us at the Digital Storytellers to learn more. 

Stories, sharing and community - that's what happens with the Pathways to Purpose.  The program has been the manifestation of the our ethos at Digital Storytellers. We're not just developing best practices for impact storytelling but empowering the next generation of storytellers to do so too.  Our community of impact storytellers - from our mentors to our program participants - we continue to learn and grow together.  The program will be back in 2025.

Impact storytelling is more than just pointing a camera towards a great story. That's why the Pathways to Purpose program covered both the art and business of storytelling.  Our participants were brought through a curated program of story development, production, marketing and more. With our mentors, they were taught tried and tested ways to not just tell a great story, but create change.  The program is back in 2025.

Pathways to Purpose participant, Jeremy Thomas, reflects on his journey through the course. Over 12 weeks, participants like Jeremy were guided by experts in film production, marketing and more to learn the art and business of impact storytelling. The Pathways to Purpose program is more than just a Youtube tutorial on film-making. It's an opportunity to learn impact storytelling from those who are doing it and discover your potential to create greater change. The program will be back in 2025. Stay looped in with Digital Storytellers via our newsletter to be the first to hear. https://lnkd.in/g2KBDyYw 

The Pathways to Purpose program has officially come to an end for 2024.  Last month, our participants, impact organisations and mentors came together for a screening of the films produced during the 12-week program. It was a chance to reflect on their journey and celebrate the work they did.  Over the course of 12-weeks, participants not only produced beautiful impact stories, but learned the art and business of storytelling.  The program will be back in 2025.
