PD 6643 – Passing The Mic: Using Storytelling & Podcasting in Your Classroom
October 27, 2020 | 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Storytelling, including through the use of podcasts, is a powerful pedagogical tool for inspiring connection and mutual understanding between and across social identity groups and reducing prejudice. When grounded in compassion and trust, storytelling has the potential to cultivate critical reflection, build political efficacy, and drive informed civic engagement among young people. Such a practice is invaluable, as research indicates that youth thrive emotionally, socially, and academically when they feel connected to and supported by their peers and adults, when their perspectives are valued, and when they are encouraged to use their voice to engage in social change. Using North Carolina State University’s Extension program and youth-led podcast #PassTheMicYouth as an example, this informative and interactive presentation will illustrate how to integrate various forms of storytelling into the classroom — including through the use of podcasts — review practical applications and strategies for implementation, and outline implications for practice.
