GPB PROMOTES THE ART OF

The Moth Pop Up Porch Tour at Ponce City Market in Atlanta.

GPB is a proud media partner of The Moth, helping to promote the art and craft of storytelling and honor and celebrate the diversity and commonality of human experience. This fall, The Moth launched their inaugural Pop Up Porch Tour, traveling to six cities to foster new connections and strengthen relationships with communities throughout the American South. The tour culminated in Atlanta at Ponce City Market, where hundreds of visitors learned about The Moth, listened to stories from the archive and participated in one-on-one story coaching sessions.

We were pleased to sponsor an Introduction to Storytelling Workshop for Georgia Parent Support Network Youth MOVES while The Moth was in town as well, during which participants learned about the power of a story as an empathetic communication tool.

The stories continue with The Moth GrandSLAM Championship in Atlanta this month. Join GPB and The Moth for a night of fine storytelling at Center Stage on December 5. Visit gpb.org/community for more information.
