Chicago’s longest-running storytelling collective, 2nd Story, is expanding its groundbreaking training program under the new brand CultureBuilds. The program now accounts for 30 percent of the nonprofit’s annual budget and offers a suite of employee training options from equity, diversity and inclusion training to team building, live entertainment, and workshops for students and teachers. CultureBuilds’ spring public programming kicked off with Revive, Refresh, Restore: Reclaiming Self Care as a Radical Act on Wednesday, April 28. More CultureBuilds program information is available at www.culturebuilds.com/events. Additional spring programming will be announced in early May. Chicago’s longest-running story collective, 2nd Story, hosts events in and around Chicago that elevate the storyteller’s words to deliver a unique, live, literary/theatrical experience unlike any other in the city. Since it’s 1999 founding, 2nd Story venues are as varied as its stories, and its equally diverse storytellers help bridge the gap between the personal and the universal.
