Starting Conversations with Children

May 2021 - Whiteness Accountability Group for International Educators

Understanding and Supporting Student-Led ActivismThis is an online course designed around promoting and discussing student-led voice in civic engagement. Our aim is to provide all educators with a historical lens as well as tools and frameworks to equip adults as allies and supporters in the development of youth voice and activism. We aim to promote dialogue around activism and equip educators with actionable resources they can use in their current contexts. In the course, students will visit numerous youth activists, educators and schools to navigate and learn from the complexities in promoting youth voice and activism. If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact us at [youthinfront@mit.edu](mailto: youthinfront@mit.edu). Thanks for joining us!
