At the workshops, students receive in-depth training on the art of storytelling in order to develop a five-minute story about facing discrimination or bigotry and how the experience impacted their identity. At the culmination of the workshops, the students share their stories at an in-school assembly, giving the entire student body the opportunity to start a larger dialogue about respect and understanding.
The group has previously compiled stories from high school students in New York City, Seattle, Denver, Chicago, New Orleans and Washington, D.C.
Incidentally, The Moth's popular podcast celebrated its 200th episode on Nov. 27.
