Introduction to Social Justice for Youth

5th - 8th grade

Description

We'll be spending the week using our social justice lens, building community, writing, and creating together. Through guided activities and journal prompts the participants will explore the various aspects of their social identities, examine privilege, power, and oppression, and begin to understand their personal role in society. We will gather, discuss, and journal daily. Students/participants will work on personal projects throughout the week that help them to figure out their identities and share them with others.

This week long program is a prerequisite for next summer's Anti-Racism workshop.

Tiffany Jewell is a biracial twin, mama, writer and Montessori educator. She spends her time baking bread, building LEGOS, watching British detective shows, and dreaming up how she can dismantle white supremacy. She has been working at the Montessori School of Northampton for 14 years and serves on the founding board of Montessori for Social Justice. Tiffany has traveled the country for the past few years presenting her social justice curriculum to other educators and is so excited to be sharing this with students! She is also working on her first book for young adults, which will be published in 2020!
