PRODUCE
AFP Live! is a weekly one-hour talk show on Instagram for students, by students.
Join AFP interns Taliyah and Samayiah for a one-hour weekly talk show on Instagram Live! This weekly live Instagram was created as a platform to be run by students and for students so they can tune into learning new things on campus as well creating a safe space and/or outlet for student voices and stories to be heard. A new topic and speakers are selected every week.
Look for us on Instagram every Wednesday from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m.
EXPLORE
The Anne Frank Project invites students to include the power of stories and story-building into their academic course work.
The Anne Frank Project's Director, Professor Drew Kahn, is teaching two courses in Spring 2024. Courses include:
Ensemble Theater, THA 470. Experience the power of sharing stories with local high school students first-hand. Students will create, rehearse and tour original play to over 20 local high schools; the short play is followed by student-facilitated workshop, activating the lessons of the play. Students collaborate, create, prepare, perform and teach throughout this highly experiential semester.
Internship, THA 488. Students are immersed in the real-life work of a social justice non-profit, the Anne Frank Project, in multiple areas including marketing, performance, event planning, co-teaching and office management.
As with all AFP courses, the above classes can be cross-listed to align more closely with academic major course requirements. Please schedule a meeting with Professor Kahn and your current academic advisor to coordinate.
