The third annual Native Storytelling Workshop will take place June 9-12 at the University of Kansas (KU) campus in Lawrence, Kan. in partnership with the Indigenous Journalists Association.
The workshop will bring Indigenous high school students from across the country to the KU campus for four days to introduce them to the field of journalism and explore ways that storytelling skills offer opportunities to give back to their communities.
Students will have the opportunity to learn the basics of online/digital news content creation, podcasting, and multimedia journalism using the studios and resources of the William Allen White School of Journalism and Mass Communications. Students will also have the opportunity to learn more about possible majors and the admissions process at KU.
The workshop will be led by KU Journalism professors Dr. Melissa Greene-Blye (Miami Tribe of Oklahoma) and Professor Rebekka Schlichting (Ioway Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska).
The purpose of the workshop is to educate the next generation of Indigenous storytellers by providing them with the tools and skills necessary to tell the stories that matter to them and their communities by giving Indigenous people a voice in telling their own stories.
There is no cost for the workshop. Students are provided a room and all meals during the week. Scholarships are available to assist with travel to and from Lawrence, Kan. Register here. The application deadline is April 19 and there is a $5 application fee.
