Silence Speaks is an international digital storytelling initiative offering a safe, supportive environment for telling stories that all too often remain unspoken. Through a unique blend of oral history, participatory video production, and group process, workshop participants create short “digital stories” of courage and healing that can be shared in a variety of training, community mobilization, and policy advocacy venues.
