EDTalks: Storytelling as a Tool to Empower and Build Empathy

EDTalksMN

Tea Rozman Clark is co-founder and executive director of Green Card Voices, a nonprofit that utilizes storytelling to share personal narratives of immigrant youth and adults to foster tolerance and establish better understanding between immigrant and non-immigrant communities. Born in Yugoslavia, Tea has interviewed more than 400 immigrants from over 120 countries and is editor of the organization’s six volumes of compelling stories. She will share the power of Green Card Voices storytelling for both the teller and the audience, as well as stories of Minneapolis students from the organization’s collection. Storytelling as a Tool to Empower and Build Empathy by Tea Rozman Clark was part of the May 2019 #EDTalksMN event on Immigrant Voices. This EDTalk was recorded in front of a live audience at Icehouse in Minneapolis on May 6, 2019, by Jeff Achen (https://www.callsign51.com/). EDTalks is presented by AchieveMpls and the Citizens League in partnership with Indigo Education and Pollen. Thanks to our generous sponsors, the Bush Foundation and the Verne C. Johnson Family Foundation. Learn more about EDTalks at https://www.achievempls.org/edtalks.
