Workshops

Being storytellers and having a love for education, we facilitate workshops on using emerging and social media platforms to tell

your stories – creatively and professionally. The desire to tell stories has not diminished for thousands of years, only the tools have changed. Ahimsa Media is as passionate about new technologies as we are about storytelling. Since stories and technology don’t have to be mutually exclusive, we want to work with you to share what we have learned.

As a part of this, we have partnered in Bridging Media, an initiative designed to open the channels of communication between the broadcast and digital media communities, to connect these two dynamic and powerful media. This initiative was co-founded by Megan Cole and Ahimsa Media Principle, Erica Hargreave. Through Bridging Media, we have:

• thrown day long conferences
• spoken on & moderated new media panels
• demonstrated social media storytelling in action at conferences & festivals

These workshops are designed for:

• advertisers
• corporations
• broadcasters
• filmmakers
• artists (writers, actors, playwrights, musicians, dancers, tactile artists ..etc)

Our Instructors have a passion for teaching and experience with the subject matter that they teach. We are storytellers and we have worked with both traditional and digital media.

With a background in formal education, we also offer a separate workshop strictly geared to the use of social media in education for educators. We show educators how to help their students use social media safely and effectively to support what they are already learning in the classroom.

Depending on your needs, we offer half day overviews, day long workshops and on-going seminars on interactive storytelling. You can book workshops with us for your organization or check back here for our community workshops throughout the year.
