breaking barriers
Following on from the original project developed in Caerphilly CBC, we have now entered an exciting new phase as an independent organisation – Breaking Barriers Community Arts. Follow us on twitter @BBCommarts and we'll let you know when our brand new digital storytelling website goes live in the New Year. Enjoy what we have here for now. The new website will continue host the archive of films plus all the new films made by BBCA.
Everybody loves a good story – storytelling is part of being human. Stories can transform both the teller and the listener. And although everybody has a story to tell, not everyone is heard.
Digital storytelling offers the opportunity for people to speak and to be heard, to share their stories. In digital storytelling, the use of ICT provides people with the tools to get their stories to a wider audience.
Digital stories offer a snapshot into someone else's viewpoint. The films are moving, interesting, engaging and as diverse as the people who have created them.
Breaking Barriers Community Arts makes digital stories about anything that matters to people. There are funny digital stories and sad ones, precious memories and lessons learned, heritage is captured and messages are relayed.
The digital stories come from all sorts of people, in all sorts of places. Even in a forest once. We work one to one or with groups of any age, in any language.
Each story is valuable, so we take care to ensure every storyteller goes away with a digital story that delights them, that they can share proudly with family, friends, the community, big organisations and the whole wide world.
