We just finished a training session on Digital Storytelling for Social Change (DiSSC) with a very engaged group from Youth 4 Jobs Foundation in . Once again it was inspiring to see how those who attend the training find their own unique ways of expressing the stories that they have. A great learning experience for all of us.

🎉 Celebrating 16 Years of Creativity! 🎉

July is always special for us. This month each year we celebrate our anniversary. This year words. rhythms. images reaches 16 years of growth and meaningful collaborations. Over the years, we've been fortunate to work with a diverse range of organisations and individuals, creating impactful films, engaging training programmes, and effective communications solutions.

As we move forward, we're excited about the new international partnerships that we have forged in the past year. WRI's presence outside of India is growing and this is an exciting direction for us. This is a testament to our dedicated work and long-term relationships we've built over the years. This year, we look forward to more such creative work and making an even greater impact with everything we do.

We couldn’t have achieved this without our long-term collaborators, including our dedicated team members, who continue to contribute diligently and passionately to our work.

A heartfelt thank you to all our clients, partners, and supporters for being part of this journey.

We have reached with our series of Digital Storytellers for Social Change (DiSSC) training sessions focusing on and older age inclusion. We just completed two sessions in with incredible participants who are all set to begin their journey with digital storytelling.

Our gratitude to and Ramesh Krishnan for making this happen!

Bringing back to Kerala is special as this is where we first conceptualised the digital storytelling model under the grant we got from the Humanitarian Innovation Fund I ELRHA in 2020. Four years down, our association continues to be strong and it is with their support that are we now able to take to 10 different cities around !

Thank you Elrha for showcasing Digital Storytellers for Social Change as part of this year's Humanitarian Networks & Partnerships Weeks.

The HNPW is one of the largest global gatherings of humanitarians and provides a unique forum for humanitarian networks and partnerships to meet and address key humanitarian issues. HNPW is co-hosted by the United Nations OCHA & Swiss Development & Cooperation.

Over the years, we have been experimenting with how digital storytelling can become an accessible tool for people to make themselves and their experiences more visible. For us, the process of building the capacities of organisations and communities to tell their own story has been as enriching as it has been humbling.

In the coming months, we will be engaging in some exciting work around storytelling and disability and older age inclusion. Being part of the HNPW feels like the most apt springboard for that. What this space for more!
