Program / Event Details

Experience a creative and collaborative storytelling model to build bridges of understanding and compassion in the classroom and beyond.

Structured interactive activities help students connect to their heritage, others and themselves as they explore their diversity and discover the common threads that unite them. They learn how listening to and telling the story of “the other” can help break through stereotypes and labels to expand tolerance and the possibility of change.

This residency focuses on:

Promoting appreciation of diversity
Encouraging tolerance and respect
Teaching communication skills that emphasize listening
Strengthening community and a positive learning environment
Residencies range in price, from $2,500 and up, but we can use your available budget and ‘work backward’ to create a cost-effective residency for your school. We may be able to assist you in securing grant and funding opportunities.

Residencies are tailored to your needs but usually include:
• A kick-off assembly (performing arts only)
• A required orientation meeting and planning session
• A set of workshops for classes of up to 25 students each
• A student culminating or sharing event
• An evaluation meeting
