Practice in Creative Communication
Art is a universal language. Students will practice becoming creative communicators by applying fresh, original thought in conceiving and creating art that effectively conveys their ideas to their partners, sparking interactive dialogue.

Empowerment
Students will gain a sense of empowerment as they express their voices through art and dialogue. They will also foster self-confidence and a deeper understanding of their unique identities.

Cultural Understanding
Students will be exposed to diverse narratives and experiences. This cultivates a greater appreciation for cultural diversity, breaks down stereotypes, and builds bridges of understanding between partner communities.

Empathy and Compassion
A global storytelling experience nurtures empathy and compassion as students connect emotionally with their peer’s experiences and the challenges they face, fostering a sense of shared humanity.

Amplifying Underrepresented Voices
Students will not only come to embrace their own unique narratives, but also those of their peers from marginalized or unrepresented communities. Our program amplifies voices that might otherwise go unheard by highlighting stories from diverse backgrounds. Students will take an active role in promoting inclusivity, social justice, and equity within their communities and beyond.

Global Citizenship
Through this program, students will begin to actively address real world-issues, inspiring them to become proactive global citizens committed to positive change.
