The purpose of my popular education workshop for teens is to help teens become more aware of their positions within communities and to show them that their voices and experiences within the community matter. Everyone’s voices and experiences need to be heard and shared to create a fuller understanding of our history. This workshop is based on John Dewey’s theories of popular education, Virginia Eubanks’ social justice and popular technology workshop framework, and inquiry based learning. Please visit the Workshop Outline and Workshop Justification pages to learn more about the workshop.
