The Council completed production
of a public awareness Storyteller Project. The DVD which
will be introduced to teachers through classes in the
College of Education features six self-advocate storytellers
talking about experiences from their
teen and young adult years aimed at promoting
disability awareness for high school students. The stories
focus on the issues of inclusion and diversity. The DVD was
previewed at the 2006 PacRim conference and received
extremely positive feedback.
Pictures of the storytellers
and stories by Brian Kajiyama are available at the storyteller preview site.
There will be a presentation
of stories from the DVD at the
PacRim Conference at
2:45pm on March 12, 2007 in the Lanai Ballroom.
