This article presents how over two summers the authors worked with students from Syria, Pakistan, Tanzania, Mexico, Honduras, China, and Vietnam to create their own chalkboard project. They wrote "I am" poems and "I remember" memories. They engaged in the arts, creating their personal comic book heroes and leaving inspired messages in chalk on the sidewalks downtown. They took a chalkboard workshop to the streets of Oshkosh, to a retirement home, to the school district office, and to the university, where they asked and answered thought-provoking questions in a dialogue with university students, teachers, and community members.
