MY HERO Global Media Arts Studio: Hero Stories for a Better World, will start in September 2026 and run until January 2027. Students identify heroes in their communities, learn media arts and digital storytelling skills, exchange work with classrooms around the world. Together, they create stories, films, art, or audio projects that may be submitted to MY HERO for publication review and festival consideration.
Educators can choose between two easy-to-follow pathways that include all the necessary tools and resources to bring hero stories into their classroom.
Students everywhere know someone whose courage deserves
to be seen. MY HERO helps them tell that story with care.
