• Session D2. Dramatic Adventures: Creating Original Stories with Children

    Westin Wash., DC City Center 1400 M St SW, Washington, D.C.

    The story-building process provides children with opportunities to practice key literacy, cognitive, and social emotional skills, use their imaginations, collaborate, and have fun! This session demonstrates how to center the voices of young children in creating and telling stories.

  • Session D3. Joyful Learning: The Story of STEAM Told Through the Joy of Art Making

    Westin Wash., DC City Center 1400 M St SW, Washington, D.C.

    Since 2019, Young Audiences of Northern California (YANC), in partnership with the South San Francisco Unified School District, has supported the district’s STEAM Summer School through curriculum development and program delivery. In this session, YANC will share its observation framework and explore how narrative—through story, film, and art—helps us more deeply understand, communicate, and honor the true impact of our work.
