Educator’s Studio Virtual Series | s01.e02 | 2020.10.15 | Mariah Neuroth - Jason Taylor Foundation

 

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

Engaging young people in Louder Than A Bomb can be a life changing experience for poets, educators, and whole school communities.  In this time of virtual learning, it is even more important that we build opportunities for youth leadership in the club environment and learn from the vast research around the many ways to do that.  Clubs can vary from youth engaged to youth driven to youth led and each option has its own style.  In this workshop we will discuss the various levels of youth involvement, how to engage peer to peer recruitment and retention, and explore the concept of adultism.
