Robert Kershaw is the director of public workshops at StoryCenter, a non-profit dedicated to helping people tell their stories through digital media. Robert has been with StoryCenter for over 20 years and is a leading expert in digital storytelling.

At our live virtual event, Robert and Ponga co-founder Cameron Crowe will explore how digital platforms like Ponga can be used to capture the stories of elders and engage a new generation in the experiences of their ancestors. They will discuss combining stories and photos with the internet to create captivating digital stories that will last.

Come join us for a special event with acclaimed genealogy researcher, Lisa Lisson! Lisa will be discussing how she uses Ponga in her own research and will provide insights into how to make the most of the platform.

This event is only 15 minutes with a few minutes for questions for those present during the live session.

Come join Ponga co-founders Barbara and Cameron for an open conversation to exchange ideas, stories, and product feedback. Together, we'll strengthen our community around the Ponga platform. We invite you to join us in discussing best practices, creative ideas, unusual use cases, and special challenges. Through this process, we'll get to know each other better and be inspired for future projects and stories.

As a bonus, we'll share insights about what's in store for us and what we've learned from you over the past year. We hope you can join us.

In her “Pocket event” during RootsTech Victoria MacGregor referenced other illustrations from House Elves Anonymous and showed how compelling they can be in sharing family stories. In her own family tree work, Victoria has used a range of different digital products from House Elves Anonymous together with Ponga.
