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.
