Established in the United States in 1993; formerly called Center for Digital Storytelling, and renamed to StoryCenter in 2015. It has been financed by public donations, a variety of funders, and service income. Lambert, the author of Digital Storytelling Cookbook, is the cofounder of that center. The center focuses on arts education programs, assisting individuals and organizations to create short movies of two to five minutes in length. The practitioners see that digital storytelling can facilitate reflection, education, and social changes.
