Young Voices

Young voices have stories

Young voices engaging issues with story

We need to bring more young people to the power of storytelling and the ways in which it will transform their world to a narrative they can share, learn from and grow with!

see what wikipedia says about Narrative: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narrative

In Connecticut it is happening with  Campus Slammer a program of the Connecticut Storytelling Center  www.connstorycenter.org  Campus Slammer is an intercollegiate competition in story slams, five minute personal narrative stories shared for scores and prizes!

 

Mass Mouth Inc. has narrative story happening in the greater Boston area.  www.massmouth.org  Story Slams for adults and youth are scheduled regularly. Programs within the high schools are reaching young people where they are and giving them the tools to share their story. Check out the fresh faces of story in this StoriesLive® clip!
