Digital Storytelling

In January 2009, four Quest students participated in a Digital Storytelling Workshop. These are their stories.

  • Letting Go: Alana Bliss's first camping trip in British Columbia leads her to see the world in a whole new way - and she learned to "just go with it".
  • Journey to the Unknown: Damalie Nabalongo leaves family and friends in sunny Uganda to study in strange and snowy Canada.
  • Sense of Place: After growing up in a land-locked Albertan prairie town, Shandel Brown finds a sense of home by the sea Squamish, British Columbia.
  • Becoming Me: From Kosovo to Arizona to Squamish, Kaltrina Kusari describes the choices and places that led her to Quest.
