SUMMARY:Shero’s Journey Day Camp: Story-Based Empowerment for Young Girls
DESCRIPTION:(Jonesborough\, Tenn.) – The International Storytelling Center (ISC)\, home to the world-renowned National Storytelling Festival and Storytelling Live! teller-in-residence series\, is proud to offer Shero’s Journey\, a story-based day camp experience for girls age 10-13. \n\nShero’s Journey was created to address the dip in confidence and self-esteem many girls face during pivotal teen years. On the journey\, girls will look at the central messages of familiar fairytales\, folktales\, and fables to see how these messages tend to shape their lives and perceptions of self. Then they will give these tales modern makeovers to illustrate how narratives can change and be re-imagined\, encouraging them to take control of their own stories and choices. At the end of the journey\, they will get to embody characters of their own creation\, and feel empowered to face the challenges of the modern world with creativity and confidence. Using one-on-one work with trained storytellers\, teaching artists\, and narrative specialists\, the program will weave in peer collaboration\, empowerment exercises\, connections to nature\, and reflective work. More information and registration can be accessed at https://www.storytellingcenter.net/initiatives/sherojourney/. \n\nThe sessions for Shero’s Journey will be held June 14-18\, from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. each day. All programming will take place in-person at ISC’s campus in downtown Jonesborough and will adhere to the latest Covid-19 safety guidelines\, with some sessions being held outdoors\, weather permitting. Registration is currently only available for those living in East Tennessee. The week-long program will be limited to 12 participants and registration is on first come\, first serve basis. Registration and programming are presented free of charge and include all program materials. However\, we do encourage you to consider a $15 per participant donation to ISC to help cover program costs. \n\nThe first Shero’s Journey was held in 2019\, and feedback from participants has confirmed the program’s impact. After intensive narrative work and story training\, Neria\, age 13\, wrote a story about becoming a detective in a murder case. At the final event\, where the girls performed their stories\, Neria revealed to the audience what telling the story meant to her when she said: “Through this program\, I got to create the character I wish I could have been when my father was in the hospital and they couldn’t find who hurt him.” Neria was able to cultivate her own resilience through her created character—a confident\, problem solver. \n\nMore young girls like Neria can benefit from the Shero’s Journey program which is made possible with a grant from the East Tennessee Foundation (ETF)\, a community foundation seeking to make the region a better place for future generations. In addition\, the program is supported by a service grant from ETSU Elevates\, whose mission is to create a healthy\, thriving region with opportunities for all. \n\nTo learn more about the International Storytelling Center and upcoming Shero’s Journey programming\, please visit www.StorytellingCenter.net.

SUMMARY:History Happy Hour
DESCRIPTION:History Happy Hour kicks off its summer schedule on Thursday\, June 17 at 6:30 p.m.! \n  \nJoin speaker Dr. Angela Keaton for her presentation “Cook That Spam a Little Faster: How World War II and Women Changed the Food Industry.” Dr. Keaton is a history professor from Tusculum University and longtime friend of the History Happy Hour. She will be discussing how World War II changed food production and how those changes intersected with the postwar emphasis on gender roles.
