23.01.2022 I recently caught up with Ron to deliver this beautiful book version of his digital story video. Ron is the person most people ask after and so I’m happy to report we had a very nice catch up talking about music and of course Ron’s beloved Joan.
23.01.2022 "What I also learned from [writing] this book was how people's stories can take us places that we never expected to visit..." says Victoria Finlay in the forward for her book Colour. Yes!!!! x Jen

22.01.2022 August participant: So glad I stumbled across your online course. It is a little gem. As a community artist and producer, I have been tapping into individuals and communities stories over the past 10 years. After finishing your course, I finally have the language and a clear step by step process to express and present the work that I have been doing intuitively. This course information will further support future funding applications and provide the communities that I work with a more streamlined process for sharing their stories.

19.01.2022 Jennifer Thompson from Engaging Solutions has studied Narrative Therapy, which is why personal stories explored and shared in our sessions are an empowering and purposeful experience - rather than just a media production. Here is an interesting article on the power of language when telling our life stories. If you’d like to explore and share your life stories, email [email protected]

12.01.2022 Engaging Solutions is evolving! While multimedia production and real life stories will remain at the core, projects will move away from community digital storytelling workshops to documentary productions for film, tv, radio, podcast, online and print. StorySeeker training sessions and consultancy will continue and grow so we can continue to support you giving your community a voice through your own empowering story telling projects.... Documentaries are all about community education and giving people a voice, which have always been at the heart of Engaging Solutions. I’m a documentary and interview-style program junkie so this is a natural and exciting progression for me. JENNIFER THOMPSON, ENGAGING SOLUTIONS FOUNDER. Jennifer Thompson has been busy updating her skills as Factual Director/Producer with intensive courses in Sydney with the Australian Film, Television & Radio School along with connecting with the growing film and radio professionals in Canberra and online with global documentary filmmaker communities. Jennifer has been working on what will become Engaging Solutions’ first documentary projects including film, television and radio. With a core production team on board and even an interested distributor(!), this is going to be a very exciting new phase for Engaging Solutions. Stay tuned for a new website and social media homes with the first projects being unveiled!
12.01.2022 Community education/engagement strategies must be tailored to the audience. This is a video doing the rounds by teens. Yes it’s a basic message but it’s a great conversation starter for a tricky demographic. To them Leo Decaprio is an old guy () so this video introduces teens to his environmental work through their music idols.

12.01.2022 I believe preaching to the converted is a common mistake. Try thinking about the person who opposes your view - find a genuine place of understanding before you start your story and see what happens (for you and them). https://www.cnbc.com//wef-2019-jane-goodall-on-the-power-o
