The Moth, the internationally-acclaimed organization dedicated to the art and craft of personal stories told live, is holding three virtual storytelling workshops in October 2020, in partnership with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Through its Global Community Program, The Moth conducts workshops with individuals around the world, elevating stories that highlight world issues, dissolve stereotypes and bridge social divides. Guided by Moth instructors, workshop participants shape selected life experiences into well-crafted stories, which may then be presented to peers and to the world at large.
