StoryBlogging is a grassroots initiative that combines oral history and memoir blogging to document the lives of North Carolina’s citizens - especially our elderly.

A project to emulate

The Blogswana Project has a mission that’s quite similar to the StoryBlogging project, and maybe we can learn from their actitivities:

Blogswana is an effort to practice what we preach. The one-year pilot project will work with a group of about 20 college students from one of the major universities, and provide them with blogging and journalism expertise and guidance. They would commit to a year of “blogging for others.” Each student participant would start their own blog, as well as a blog for their “partner” (the person for whom they will blog). Each partner would be someone who has been effected in some way by the AIDS virus.
