Ponder to Page Workshop: Youth

Ponder to Page is a fun, easy, and safe step-by-step process for writing small meaningful

stories out of small, meaningful moments — even those experiences that may seem

ordinary. This workshop was created with the “non-writer” in mind.

We think that youth have powerful stories to tell and lessons to share. This workshop

dedicated to youth storytelling aims to uplift their voices. Join Bethel AME for a youth led

Sunday service at 9am, or come at 11 for the workshop.

As part of In Our Words, after writing their story, selected participants who agree to be

filmed tell their story off-page in a warm, one-on-one conversation. These stories will be

theatrically projected, backed by a live original musical score and framed by live original

narration as part of a moving multimedia performance culminating In Our Words. In Our

Words only shows people in their best light. To make sure this is the case, filmed

storytellers approve their segments. It is of course fine to participate in Ponder to Page

even if one does not wish to be filmed. Youth will not be filmed without caregiver consent.

Strengthening relationships within & between communities to navigate complex challenges with greater creativity & resilience.
