Half of the story tellers
were from TimeBank
and the rest from community
groups that
included Hospice, Hakatere
Marae, Presbyterian
Support, Hakatere Multi
Cultural Council and He
Waka Tapu.
On day one, participants
brainstormed ideas,
created storyboards and
set about filming stories
using their mobile
phones.
Day two offered advice
and tips on editing stories
and then on how best to
share them with others,
