Past workshops

In May and June, members of the Yellow Door’s Yellow Ribbon Social Club participated in a photo-voice workshop designed for seniors interested in learning new technologies to share stories with other generations. Over five two-hour sessions, participants learned how to develop scripts, scan and locate images, and create and edit short videos using Windows Live Movie Maker.
