The Anne Frank Project is delighted to have Karima Amin, local storyteller, as one of three featured speakers at AFP 2014 on Monday, September 8, from 9:30 to 10:50 a.m. in the Donald Savage Theater and Communication Building.

Storytelling for Joy and Justice
Knowing that every culture has its stories, I believe that storytelling is a perfect medium for teaching about the customs, traditions, and history of a people…. Listeners come to know that we are united by common human experiences in spite of our differences. The differences we encounter daily may involve race, age, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, ethics, and gender.

While personal stories are great, fables and folktales can be just as important and powerful. After listening to several fables and folktales from a variety of cultures, attendees will be invited to discuss how any one of these stories could be used to positively influence a social justice issue.
