Summer is coming and the Moth Education Program is offering workshops for high school students,
college students, and teachers to learn the art and craft of true personal storytelling.
As part of our mission to spread empathy through stories,
students and teachers will learn to use moth-style storytelling techniques to build personal narratives,
with benefits in and out of the classroom.
Applications for student and teacher workshops are open and the deadline for all applications is June 8th.
Apply on our website at themoth.org.edu.
Welcome to The Moth.
I'm Chloe Salmon, and on this episode,
in honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month,
we'll be sharing three stories from AAPI storytellers who will take us everywhere from a Korean spa to a crisis hotline.
First up, we've got Helen Langley-Wiss, who told this story at a story slam in Asheville,
North Carolina, where the theme of the night was home.
Here's Helen, live at the Moth.
I should have known something was up when my mom opted out.
I was on my first adult trip to Korea, my mother's homeland,
and a friend had suggested that I had to go experience Jinjeolbang.
I said, what is Jinjeolbang?
It is a Korean spa.
I said, that sounds awesome.
