Heart Touched by Cyprus

"Heart Touched by Cyprus" is a personal digital story by John Higgins that shares how Cyprus and Cypriot people have changed my life. It began in 1995 when Cypriot university students in my oral history class shared engaging stories from elders in their communities.  I've returned again and again to work with Cypriots across the island on projects involving digital storytelling, oral histories, and peace-building.  I learn and grow with each visit and interaction with friends, colleagues, and storytellers. 
This story started in a 2011 digital storytelling workshop with Gorilla Media, a bi-communal youth activist group - thanks for your feedback!  It was finally created in July 2019 with help from participants in a workshop at the Story Center, Berkeley, CA!
