Gathering Stories
Using a diverse range of insight storytelling techniques, we support people to use digital devices and the Internet to gather and share their own (and their peers') stories of lived experience.
JOIN OUR GROWING STORYTELLING MOVEMENT
OUR APPROACH
People’s Voice Media was established in 1995 and is committed to supporting people to improve their lives and bring about positive social change from the ground up. We launched the Community Reporter movement in 2007 and with this methodology we enable people to use digital tools to gather, curate and mobilise their stories.
Curating Stories
Using our analysis model, we work with people to identify the insights in their stories and package them in a range of ways such as edited films, interactive reports, visualisations and much more.
Mobilising Stories
Using a range of strategies, we work with groups and organisations to connect curated stories to decision and change makers, who can use the knowledge in them to create positive change.
