About the Event

About the Worksop

Muslim youth who have experienced discrimination have an important voice and much to share with other youth and the larger community. This may not be easy, however, as these experiences can be traumatic, impact mental health, and be difficult to talk about. This workshop will introduce youth to storytelling—one of the most powerful tools we have to connect with others and share a message. Storytelling can also help youth make sense of an experience…or just be a fun and creative outlet

Designed for ages 15- 26

The workshop is free, but registration is required due to limited spaces.
