"Telling stories about
our experiences
connects us to one
another, to our
students, and even to
our own identities
as teachers."
– Micaela Blei
The Moth was founded in 1997 to promote the art and craft of storytelling, and to honor and celebrate the
diversity and commonality of human experience. The Moth Education Program works with young people and
educators to build community through storytelling workshops, performances, and innovative workshops.
SXSW EDU 2018 kicked off with "Stories of Schooling and Getting Schooled," a keynote session
presented in conjunction with The Moth, which featured four teachers (pictured above) telling true
stories from their lives inside and outside of the classroom.
