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.
