Dear Students,
You are invited to submit an application to participate in a project aimed at centering and amplifying the narratives of first generation[1] students in graduate and professional school at the University of Washington. The First Gen Digital Storytelling Project: Narrating Our Lives in Grad School workshop is a structured, three-day workshop to be held at the Seattle campus from August 4 – 6, 2016. Facilitators will help you develop the skills to work with images, sound, text, and digital technologies to produce your story of navigating life as a first gen student in grad school (no prior tech experience necessary). Participation in this workshop is free and food and refreshments will be provided.
The application deadline is July 1st, and there are 10 spaces available. We anticipate a waiting list. This innovative, UW tri-campus project is in collaboration with the national organization Class Action.
