"To me, loving a child who is different, a target and seen as vulnerable is my role as a father and decent human being...I want to love him, not change him."

The Dialogue Arts Project workshop, led by Adam Falkner at Urban Word NYC's 2013 Preemtive Education Conference

Think of your youngest childhood memory. Think of the surroundings for example: park bench, bicycle, and family’s front porch. Write a discussion with the person from your earliest childhood memory. Tell your perspective of a story they may remember differently. What do you need them to understand?

Christopher Lane, a student of Adam Falkner's, talks about his experience with Dialogue.

A poem by Omari McKay, a student in Adam Falkner's class at the Academy for Young Writers: Every day, I'm happy Every day, I'm sad Every day, I'm scared Every day, I'm mad Every night, I'm nervous Every night, I feel like someone's watching me Every night, I feel like I need more privacy Every day, I need food Every day, I feel good Every day, I need a pass just to go to the restroom Every night, I'd rather stay in bed, that's the best room Every day, I'm at home Every night, I feel like I'm alone Every day, I try to breathe Every night, I feel like you're haunting me Every day, I feel like you're setting me free Set me free, set me free
