In March 2024, Unboxed and EL Education ran a workshop in which participants conduct interviews in order to capture “stories of learning” and turn them into podcasts and/or videos. This is the “article” version of that workshop. It’s intended as a tool to create your own version of the workshop in your community, and/or to help you refresh your memory of the workshop
