Welcome back to Storytelling School with The Moth! We are in the midst of a difficult time that can feel hard to process, both for ourselves and for our young people. For this week’s blog, we’re taking a look at a story about meeting a hero who left an indelible mark on history.
This week’s news cycle, with the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis and the incident with Christian Cooper in Central Park, is further proof that our country has a painfully long way to go when it comes to issues of race, entitlement and privilege. We believe that telling stories, and listening to others share theirs, fosters empathy and puts us all on a path to deeper understanding and compassion. We hope that this week’s playlist gives everyone a moment to reflect.
Happy Tuesday! Here’s another Storytelling School with The Moth! The Moth’s Education program is publishing these storytelling activities to help parents and educators with some at-home curriculum. See you again on Tuesday, and as always, thanks for your support!
From the horror of being seen as uncool, to the desire to be “normal” and other torments, getting through adolescence takes courage. This week’s playlist is an homage to that teen spirit in all of its glory.
It’s Tuesday, so there’s (drum roll please) a new Storytelling School with The Moth! The Moth’s Education program is publishing these storytelling activities to help parents and educators with some at-home curriculum.
