The Moth StorySLAM - SCHOOLED is an open-mic storytelling competition where participants share five-minute personal stories about the lessons that shaped them. Drawing from wisdom passed down by elders, textbooks, hard knocks, lucky breaks, and life experiences, storytellers explore the realest reality checks they've received from teachers, siblings, bosses, bullies, and other influential figures. From fortune cookies to astrology, from Confucius to Brené Brown, this community-focused event celebrates the diverse ways people learn and grow through triumph, mistakes, and unexpected guidance.
