Telling the Cancer Story

Digital Storytelling Expert RoundtableConference Call: 866-740-1260 Access Code: 6339333

The Challenge

• Acknowledging the individual story• Recognizing the unique experiences• Respecting the nature of privacy• Crafting a cohesive tale that encompasses

the entirety of the population• Delivering something meaningful and not

overly homogeneous

Digital Storytelling Expert RoundtableConference Call: 866-740-1260 Access Code: 6339333

Acknowledging the Individual

Recognizing Unique Experiences

• Promote creative elaboration on the theme

• Maintain the underlying framework that ties everything together

• Promote the common sense of purpose above the common sense of shared experience

Digital Storytelling Expert RoundtableConference Call: 866-740-1260 Access Code: 6339333

Respecting the Nature of Privacy

• In digital mediums be mindful of the importance of anonymity

• Consider real world rules and restrictions (HIPPA)

• Think of future impacts of revealing identity, and counsel your participants acordingly.

Digital Storytelling Expert RoundtableConference Call: 866-740-1260 Access Code: 6339333

Crafting a Cohesive Tale

• Focus on the common sense of responsibility, hope, or aspiration

• The positive message is the anchor that binds each individual story to the next

• Make sure there is a concise call to action at the end that moves people to do something

Digital Storytelling Expert RoundtableConference Call: 866-740-1260 Access Code: 6339333

Delivering Something Meaningful

• Be mindful that your story has to resonate with your entire audience

• Your story is only as effective as the change it creates in the end

• Make sure those who are closest to the central theme feel impacted, or clearly see the end results

Draw your digital line

It’s yours to determine. You and your friends. You and your boyfriend or girlfriend. You and your weekly hook up. You and your generation.
