Applications are now being accepted from Dallas high school students interested in taking part in ‘Storytellers Without Borders’, a program to introduce journalism to Dallas’s high school students.
The Storytellers Without Borders initiative is a joint venture between the Dallas Public Library and The Dallas Morning News. Students will be steered by professional journalists as they progress through the program. Funds for the initiative are provided by a grant of $150,000 supplied by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.
Three eight-week sessions will be held, each of which will have 60 participating students. The first session is anticipated to launch in February. Admission is open to any high school student living in the city or attending a Dallas school.
Storytellers Without Borders is one of the many benefits local libraries provide to the community. In addition to Books, video games, and movies that can be borrowed free of charge, libraries also provide Brochures on numerous subjects, as well as classes, exhibits, and events.
Three libraries will participate in the program: Buckner Terrace’s Skyline Branch Library, downtown’s J. Erik Jonsson Central Library, and another that is yet to be named. Participating students will learn about multimedia reporting, as well as how to make use of archives, databases, and other library resources.
The application deadline for Storytellers Without Borders is January 25. Applicants can follow this link to fill out an application.
