The Moth's Education Program

The Moth’s Education Program provides storytelling techniques to students and educators. We believe that listening to stories can broaden our perspectives, cultivate empathy, help build confidence, and communication skills for our peers and communities. We have designed workshops that are accessible and inclusive spaces for story sharing for high school students, college students, and teachers.
