The panel, as part of a full-day program on race and youth in the modern urban landscape, will begin from the premise that disenfranchised youths are particularly in need of effective programs for engagement. Panelists reflect on how arts and cultural activities have proven to have a powerful social impact among this group, allowing them to build skills of creative expression, critical thinking, and empowerment.
Panelists include:
Salah Amokrane, Association Tactikollectif, Toulouse
Céline Evita, Association Réponses Citoyennes, Paris
David Feiner, Albany Park Theater Project, Chicago
Monica Haslip, Little Black Pearl Workshop, Chicago
