Did you know that Chapter 510 holds creative writing workshops at several Oakland public schools? Our school-based projects are ongoing partnerships with OUSD teachers, administrators, and students.
Here is an interview with Janet Heller, Executive Director, about Chapter 510’s impact on a classroom at Hoover Elementary School.
Led by teaching artist and audio producer Elena Botkin-Levy, students used audio storytelling as a method of collecting and archiving stories about Swan’s Market, site of Chapter 510’s new writing center and much more. This film captures this powerful program from beginning to end. Thanks to video producer/documentarian Miles Lassi and to the Kenneth Rainin Foundation for underwriting this film.
