In 2023, EchoX’s DIGITIZE hosted a paid workshop opportunity called “Story Gathering Workshop” (SGW) for Washington State high school students to learn storytelling skills that centers around “own voices,” a central theme of unity and understanding across cultures (and community). Student participants in this workshop received compensation upon submission of their final piece, either a minimum 1000-word article or a roughly three-minute audio piece.
