Folktellers for Literacy Program
Empowering Young Voices Through Storytelling and Filmmaking
The Folktellers for Literacy Program offers a transformative, immersive experience that empowers students to become storytellers, filmmakers, and the protagonists of their own narratives. Carefully designed to ignite imagination, enhance literacy skills, and support emotional well-being, the program affirms the profound importance of every participant’s unique story.
Through engaging, interactive storytelling, students explore the pleasures of reading, the creative potential of filmmaking, and the value of community connection. They discover how narratives can heal, inspire, and bring people together.
The program culminates in a creative contest and awards ceremony, where students showcase their original stories and films. This celebratory event recognizes outstanding work, honors individual and group achievements, and reinforces the message that every student’s voice and story truly matters.
