For Students

Undergraduate and graduate students from all academic majors and interests are welcome to engage in our Story-Based work through coursework, internships, our Social Justice Festival, and study abroad opportunities in Rwanda.

The Anne Frank Project invites students to include the power of stories and story-building into their academic course work.

EXPLORE

The Anne Frank Project's Director, Professor Drew Kahn, is teaches one course applicable to all majors.

  • THA 470 Story Building. Students share their stories through the process of building and touring an original play. In the fall, students collaborate to create and rehearse an original performance while learning AFP’s Story-Based Learning curriculum. In the spring, students tour the play to local schools, facilitating post-performance workshops that activate the themes of the play. Throughout the course, students collaborate, create, perform, and teach in a highly experiential learning environment.

  • Marketing, programming, and office management.

  • Co-planning and coordinating AFP’s annual Social Justice Festival.

  • As with all AFP courses, internships 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.
