DSI (Digital Storytelling Initiative) Collaborations

BAVC

Through the Digital Storytelling Institute, ZeroDivide has teamed with the Bay Area Video Coalition to provide direct training, technical support, technology and media tools to community-based organizations and community technology centers. ZeroDivide helps amplify community voices through digital storytelling – addressing both the digital divide and the content divide that exists in underserved communities.

Benton/Robert Wood Johnson Foundation

Over the last ten years, RWJF has worked in partnership with the Benton Foundation to support collaborations between public broadcasters and community institutions. This initiative, Sound Partners for Community Health, effectively used those collaborations to give voice to the most vulnerable among us and improve their quality of life. Both Benton and ZeroDivide strongly believe in promoting a vision and policy alternatives for the digital age in which the benefit to the public is paramount; and in enabling communities and nonprofits to produce diverse and locally responsive media content. Together with RWJF, we work to support promising new ideas that address health and health care problems that intersect with social factors, like poverty, race, education, and housing. Locally focused media—particularly as informed and used by new immigrants—has emerged at the forefront of these promising practices.

California Council for the Humanities

Working together, ZeroDivide and CCH are building the capacity of community initiatives to integrate technology, media, content and collaboration in California’s increasingly diverse neighborhoods, towns, and cities. California Council for the Humanities (CCH) mission is to foster understanding between people and encourage their engagement in community life through the public use of the humanities. Through the telling and sharing of stories, CCH has helped strengthen communities by breaking down barriers between people; making people feel more connected to each other and the place where they live; giving people a greater understanding of the story of their neighborhood, town, and state and their role in that story; and creating a more inclusive community narrative.
