The Radical Hopefulness Project
PENNSYLVANIA
Our youth will explore histories and own our present stories in order to create a deeper understanding of oppressive systems and how they impact us. The intent is to cultivate brave spaces where scholars are empowered to examine artifacts, investigate history and create healing through civic dialogue and creative response. The unit will culminate with a collaboratively curated exhibition synthesizing the works and perspectives of the youth in order to ignite community engagement and discourse.
CURRICULAR RESOURCES
