Description
The 2020 Community Voices grant will support the creation of a social justice theatre piece about educators' and students' visions for educational transformation in Philadelphia. Stories will be collected via story circles that document the beliefs and experiences of students and educators about the dehumanization of the education system. Using storytelling and theater as a cultural strategy, Teacher Action Group and Philadelphia Student Union will propel the movement to rid schools of policing, cultivate intergenerational solidarity, and amplify the need for systemic change in education.
