International DST Training Hubs
Common Language has developed strong partnerships with different organizations around the world. Some of these organizations have the experience and skills to train DST Facilitators on their continent. These are the CLDST Training Hubs.

North America
The head office of Common Language Digital Storytelling is in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and a sizeable portion of CLDST Trained Facilitators operate in Canada, the USA, and Mexico. Many of the marquee CLDST initiatives (including the Story Slam, Kitchen Table Nights, and the Co-Created Podcast) are produced by the North American hub… however, there are many amazing initiatives being pioneered in other areas of the world through the other Training Hubs.

Africa
The Africa Training Hub is located in the city of Mbarara in Southwestern Uganda and is a partnership between Common Langauge DST, Mbarara University of Science and Technology, and the University of Calgary. This is the oldest and most established of the Global Training hubs and has been very successful in both facilitating DST projects around Africa and training DST facilitators from other countries on the continent. They are the recognized leaders in helping communities in Africa tell their own stories.
