Use of Text and Video Blog Postings to Capture Stories in Context

Steve Bosserman's picture

Marcin Jakubowski, founder of Factor e Farm north of Kansas City, MO, made a video blog posting on Open Source Ecology earlier this week that illustrates some of the ways effective storytelling can be done.  The video features the work of Ben de Vries, Kent State graduate and certified permaculture designer, along with other contributors at the Factor e Farm applied research center.

A somewhat dated blog posting about Marcin and Factor e Farm made by Pamela McLean, education and communications consultant in the UK, on her Learning By Doing site offers additional examples of storytelling and knowledge exchange through text complemented by video interviews.

These sources may provide ideas that can be utilized, specifically, by the LFS Storytellers group and open the door for further contact with others whose experience is of value to LocalFoodSystems.org members, in general.
