Atlanthos is Ethọ́s Lab's digital space co-created from the imaginations of Ethosians (the youth of Ethọ́s Lab).

This workshop will offer an overview of Atlanthos Box as a tool to integrate inclusion, technology, and culture in the paradigm of Afro-futurism into the classroom. We will present the current literature supporting storytelling and co-creation as essential skills for students in the 21st century. We will discuss the inter-disciplinary nature of the toolkit. Educators will have an opportunity to engage with our virtual space via the web and emerging technology such as virtual reality (VR).

Learning Objectives: Upon completion of this session, participants will be able to:

• Understand Atlanthos as an inter-sectional class tool.

• Recognize ways to integrate technology into the classroom.

• Apply Atlanthos as an interdisciplinary approach to English education.

• Uplift culture-specific learning as a core framework.
