WE SHARE THE SAME SKY PROGRAMMING
Storytelling
Using photographs, video, audio, interviews, archival documents, testimony, and personal stories, Rachael retells her grandmother’s wartime story while weaving in her own decade-long experience retracing it. This presentation ebbs and flows between past and present bringing a contemporary perspective to World War II history. This is a 60-90 minute presentation that requires a multimedia set up and is best with allotted time for Q&A.
Family History Workshops
These workshops explore all the different ways to document our personal histories and preserve memories for the next generation—from writing to photography to collecting testimony of loved ones. We ask ourselves questions about digging into difficult stories, preserving material for future generations and how to approach stories that change with time. These are prompt-based workshops and best with multiple sessions. (If you are interested in individual editing or coaching, learn more here)
Intergenerational programming
Dialogue programs and storytelling workshops bring different generations together (of the same family or different family) to delve into how the stories we inherit uniquely impact each generation. This is a great opportunity for families to start to dig into their own history and develop questions together about where they come from and what they are leaving behind for future generations. These programs are best done in 2-3 hours or with multiple sessions.
FOr TEachers & Students
All retellings of We Share The Same Sky (the podcast, book and exhibition) were created with teachers in mind and come with resources ready to be used in a classroom. Rachael trains teachers in how to use the We Share The Same Sky toolkit in the classroom and facilitates discussions that can be replicated with students. These seminars usually run 1-2 hours. Longer sessions offer more opportunity for teacher’s to engage with one another and practice using some of the suggested classroom activities.
