I will develop and use new skills for engaging communities and gain a new understanding of storytelling. 2: I will develop technical and creative skills in a new medium and become more competent as a digital storyteller. Through work with a media professional, I will develop and learn new skills in a new medium. By the end of the grant period, I will have mastered basic skills in the writing, production and distribution of podcasting.

Measurable Outcome(s)

I mastered skills in a new medium, enlarging my ability as a storyteller and public artist, helping me to reach a larger audience. The qualitative evaluation of this outcome is based on the larger goal of expanding my abilities as a story teller and the skills gained in the grant period have already enlarged my ability as a public artist. 2: I was able to develop technical and creative skills in a new medium and master basic skills in audio production. The qualitative evaluation of this outcome is based on the fulfillment of stated goals of mentorship with media consultant and the completion and final production of (3) three audio portraits completed in the grant period.
