SXSW EDU 2019
Empowering Teens to Research & Fight Injustice!
Description:
How do we teach teenagers that you don't need to be 18 to create change in our world? Often, even the best-intentioned teachers unintentionally disempower students during social justice action research projects, whether by providing too much project scaffolding or too little. Hear directly from teenage scholar activists who are leaders in the Boston area, and learn about best practices for supporting young people as researchers & change-makers in their own communities!
