The Storytelling Project
The Goals of the Storytelling Project
To utilize storytelling as the vehicle for the development of diverse multicultural and multidimensional learning activities in order to promote tolerance and the inherent value of diversity in our community as well as among the students. Storytelling is a story and a telling,
a communication process that continually creates, maintains, transforms, and modifies cultures and societies. In the process of telling the stories of diverse cultures in multiple formats and venues, the lives of our students will be enriched as they create, transform and modify their understanding of race, class and gender for themselves and their communities.
Through the medium of storytelling link university students/faculty with the local library's Pre K - 12 community programs as a way to bridge the gap between higher education and the community.
