The Spanish Language Program: Digital Storytelling
The Spanish Language Program's Digital Storytelling Project pairs students concurrently enrolled in any 100-level Spanlang course with a Spanish-speaking Stanford worker to co-create digital stories about the worker's lived experiences. Students interested in this program enroll in Spanlang 199SL, Directed Service Learning, earning credit for a Cardinal Course (certified by the Haas Center) while gaining valuable insights into the important contributions and rich life experiences of Stanford workers. Workers, in turn, co-create digital stories to share with their families or to feature on this page, according to each worker's individual preference.
