Story-Based Learning & Story Building

Your story matters.
​The Anne Frank Project uses Story-Based Learning and Story Building as vehicles for community-building,  conflict resolution, and identity exploration. Participants learn AFP's model and co-facilitate teacher training workshops with trip leaders.  To date, AFP has trained approximately 100 teachers and teacher trainers who reach 40,000 students!

GENOCIDE STUDIES & RECONCILIATION PRACTICES

We can learn a lot from Rwanda.
​Participants learn about the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi and how Rwandans have rebuilt their country through reconciliation and peace processes. Our group visits memorials, survivors, and perpetrator work camps.

COMMUNITY & CIVIC ENGAGEMENT

Bringing lessons home.
​Participants have the responsibility of acting on the lessons they learned in Rwanda in their local communities. AFP assists in the creation and delivery of presentations, workshops, and projects that teach community-building, conflict resolution, and identity exploration. University students are encouraged to enroll in Ensemble Theatre (THA 470), a class which processes the Rwanda experience through story-building. The result is a devised play written by students for students in the local community. AFP has toured four plays, reaching approximately 10,000 K-12 students. THA 470 Ensemble Theatre is a designated Community Engagement class, in partnership with Buffalo State's Theatre Department.
