Youth Education Debut Presentations: June 2017
We have several Youth Education debut presentations approaching! From rezonings in the Bronx to displacement in Bushwick, students have been investigating vital questions about how our city works. In these projects, students collaborated with Teaching Artists and CUP to examine a social justice issue impacting their community, interview key stakeholders, use design and art to break down complex information, and create visual tools that teach others about the issue.
Join us as the students celebrate the culmination of all their hard work, present their final products, and reflect on their creative process. All the events are free and open to the public.
If you would like to attend any of these events, please RSVP to rsvp@welcometocup.org to reserve your spot. Please specify which event(s) you will attend.
Check out a list of events below. Hope to see you there!
