Handheld Stories / Documentary Workshops

Handheld Stories / Documentary Workshops We provide tools and training to under-represented communities worldwide. Join us!

Handheld Stories is a volunteer-based, educational, media-arts collaborative that provides video production tools and training opportunities in conjunction with the social media skills required to share these stories with the world. Founded on the idea that education and representation are profound and powerful forces in promoting social change, Handheld works with communities where political, so

cial, environmental or economic circumstances create an uncertain future. Handheld Stories does not seek to advance or endorse any specific political agenda other than the simple idea that the world benefits from expanded communication and the creative exchange of ideas.
