Greg Milo taught high school social studies for 13 years, creating experiential learning opportunities locally and abroad for students, as well as new relevant and engaging courses, before taking his creative talents to the Knight Foundation, where he organizes and facilitates community events that bring people from different backgrounds together to learn about their town and each other. Regarding this Fellowship, Milo ventures into the 20+ neighborhoods of Akron, gathering storytellers to participate in Common Threads Akron, where locals are invited to hear from and speak with experts in a particular field. Each monthly event takes place in a different Akron venue, be it a theatre or a bowling alley, and each event follows a different theme.
