Crafting Your Story is a signature series  from the Center for Social Justice Dialogue with programs designed and facilitated by Social Justice Dialogue Facilitation Fellows.

At CYS events, participants will reflect upon and share their own cultural stories, create their own craft project, and learn how cultures around the world have used crafting, such as stitching, beading, quilting, and other art forms, to tell and preserve stories.
