“Telling my story reminded me of the kind of person I am, and the kind of person I am striving to become.”
Who can apply?
The Porch: A Gathering of CUNY Women is an inclusive space for all women. We welcome cis-gendered women, trans women, genderqueer women, and non-binary people who are currently enrolled in one of CUNY’s 24 colleges or graduate schools.
What’s happening?
Over the course of the day, participants will learn principles of Moth storytelling, brainstorm stories of their own and share those stories with one another.
After a networking lunch, we’ll explore the professional applications for storytelling - from stories for cover letters and interviews, to finding a personal career path you can love.
At the end of the workshop, we’ll celebrate with a StorySLAM -- a chance to share the stories we’ve been working on! Up to ten students will have the chance to share their story onstage with peers, friends and Moth fans. (This part is optional, but a lot of fun…)
When is the next festival?
The next festival will be on Saturday, December 8th from 10AM - 6PM.
How can I register?
Register Here. The cost of registration is $25 per participant and the deadline is Sunday, December 2nd.
If the $25 registration cost is a hardship, you can apply here for financial assistance. Thanks to the generosity of the Kate Spade & Company Foundation, we are able to offer a limited number of financial assistance packages.
