The curriculum for 10,000 Stories focuses on empowering youth by asking them to think about their identities, communities, and dreams. It gives them different print and digital tools for articulating their stories and analyses. We continue to develop our curriculum in collaboration with public school teachers to integrate lessons and dialogue about equity and justice into the school curriculum. The curriculum is dynamic and contextual.
