IAP 2024 Flipping Failure Storytelling Workshop

Everyone has faced challenges. Everyone has a story. Flipping Failure want to hear yours!


Join us for Flipping Failure’s IAP 2024 Storytelling Workshop Series! The workshop series will be a guided process of reflection and discovery to craft and record your unique story in a small cohort of MIT undergraduate and graduate students. You do not need any prior knowledge or storytelling experience to participate!

Benefits of Participation

Through the process of constructing and sharing their stories, MIT students found meaning in their experiences, felt less alone in their struggles, and recognized how they’ve grown and become more resilient. View the video below to hear how storytelling shifted their perspectives.

What to expect:

  • The workshop series will combine exercises in observation, mindfulness, and journaling with instruction in crafting a narrative. Guidance and feedback on the crafting and shaping of your story will be provided.
  • The majority of the time in workshops will be spent working on your stories and recordings. There will also be optional experimentation and brief exercises that you may complete on your own each week.
  • There will be three 3-hour in-person workshops January 9, 11, & 16, and a 1.5-hour individual meeting during the week of January 22.
