THE SOLUTION
Memria provided the following tools to help VivaVoz collect and distribute community stories:
- Web-based platform for collecting, reviewing and sharing stories
- Story Booth setup to help with collection in remote areas
- Audio clips extracted from stories, that the FBL team edited into a podcast
- radio-ready podcasts to be shared through multiple community radion stations
THE CHALLENGE
The Feedback Labs team was looking for a way to collect feedback and experiences from the attendees of their annual Feedback Summit. They sought a solution that:
- had more nuance and more of a “human element” than a survey would provide
- would allow them to collect audio recordings and photos from participants, both during and after the event
- would enable easy sharing and distribution of the audio feedback to the community post-summit
THE SOLUTION
Memria provided the following tools to help FBL collect and distribute their “feedback stories”:
- Web-based platform for collecting, reviewing and sharing stories
- Story Booth setup at the conference
- “Roving Reporter” Chromebook that was used to collect stories “interview-style” at the reception and during breaks by FBL staff
- Story widget that the FBL team embedded into the post-summit blog post
- Audio clips extracted from stories, that the FBL team edited into a podcast

THE CHALLENGE
I Defend Rights, a global human rights project, needed a way to create and share a global archive of hundreds of stories from people all over the world, in multiple languages, in a fairly short period of time. They sought a solution that:
- was available in English, Spanish and French
- was easy enough to use by people who have a computer but are not necessarily regular users of technology
- provided a dashboard that allowed project managers to easily review, publish and share a large number of stories
THE SOLUTION
Memria provided the following tools to help I Defend Rights collect and distribute their stories of human rights defenders:
- Web-based platform for collecting, reviewing and sharing stories
- A dedicated project page where the collection of stories in each language could be viewed (see English, Spanish, and French stories)
- Story Booth setup at the Human Rights Defenders World Summit in Paris
- “Roving Reporter” Chromebook that was used to collect stories “interview-style” throughout the summit
- Story widget that the I Defend Rights team could use to embed published stories on their own website
