In partnership with SLB Radio, 7th grade students at Provident Charter School participated in a virtual afterschool program to learn the basics of conducting interviews and learn about the community members who have language-based differences. Together, these students developed the valuable soft skills needed for interviewing — from creating open ended questions, to becoming an active listener. Students then interviewed four adults with language-based differences. 

Below are audio pieces extracted from these interviews.
