“Marching Through Stories” continues with a virtual screening of films from across Canada
In partnership with the University of Calgary’s Faculty of Nursing, The Kidney Foundation of Canada Southern Alberta Branch is pleased to host, the “Marching Through Stories” virtual film screening.
You’re Invited! Get ready for another unforgettable evening filled with heart, hope, and powerful digital storytelling! We’re rolling out the virtual red carpet for the premiere of more short films created by inspiring members of our Kidney March family – this time from across Canada.
These stories will move you, connect you, and celebrate the incredible spirit of our community members. So grab your popcorn, cozy up at home, and join us over Zoom for this can’t-miss event.
Digital Storytelling Facilitator and health researcher, Dr. Mike Lang will take us through their process and facilitate conversations with each new storyteller after the films. Hear the voices behind the march — real stories of strength, struggle, and purpose told by those who lived them.
‘Marching Through Stories’ is a research project conducted by the University of Calgary exploring experiences and impacts of Kidney March through digital storytelling. The project aims to contribute to the understanding of how such events foster community, support, and advocacy. The project provides the kidney community a unique opportunity to share their personal experiences.
