Aboriginal On the Move Digital Storytelling Workshop
in Sport
On November 5-7, 2010 CAAWS, with support from Motivate Canada, brought together
community program leaders and youth involved with CAAWS'
Aboriginal On the Move project and Motivate Canada's
Aboriginal Circle initiative for a digital storytelling
workshop. CAAWS' Aboriginal On the Move project supports
the development and implementation of sport and physical
activity programs for Aboriginal girls and young women.
The Active Circle supports Aboriginal youth and communities
to become vibrant, active and healthy through sport
and recreation. Participants, who came from a variety
of communities across Canada, were asked to share a
story about the impact of sport and physical activity
in their life, the life of someone they know, or in
their community. The result was this collection of stories
that speak to the power of sport and physical activity
in how we define ourselves and create our community.
