Event Description:
We are coming together for a day of experiential learning in order to strengthen our analysis and understanding of how to make change. We will be doing theater of the oppressed activities to understand and learn more about power and organizing. In a time when it can feel like we are being attacked from all angles it is key to be grounded in the bigger picture of our vision of justice and how we move towards it.
This is also an opportunity to build relationships and connect with others doing education justice organizing work all throughout the state. For adults and youth leaders attending, we will share facilitation guides so that you can bring these activities back to your school community and help youth of all ages better understand power and how to make change. There will be lunch groups on various topics including youth-led groups to connect in the work we are doing. Thanks to Spark Teacher Education Institute for leading event facilitation!
Who is this event for:
Folks all ages are welcome to attend! This is a youth-centered, multigenerational event. We especially encourage youth from racial justice, social justice, and affinity clubs or classes as well as their adult partners as this is an opportunity to connect with other youth statewide. We are also inviting allies from across the state that are organizing for education justice in their schools and communities. Here is a flyer you can use to share it with clubs and the groups listed above.
Individual youth are welcome to come on their own, with other youth, or with members of their club. This does not need to be an official school field trip.
Logistics:
This is a free event with lunch, snacks, and childcare provided. The space is wheelchair accessible. We will help coordinate rides for people in need.
