Inquiry: We observed at youth-led media as a source of inquiry at Temple Power where they were investigating topics through interviews, individual videos, and background research to create their final projects.

Community Engagement: We discussed adding social justice to the curriculum for Dre’s summer group – his major concerns are working to help boost student involvement and attendance.

Social Change: We learned how Dre is encouraging the youth in his program to do projects and focus on things they like but might not be comfortable talking about others with – i.e. anime.

Segment 1: Description of video including the title and the names of the participants

Segment 2: Nahdera will introduce the video’s content and state the thesis statement

Summary: I will use footage from our site placement, our project, student interviews, and information learned this semester to create a video that shows the progress of our students & the benefits of youth led media organizations. 

Summary: My project will discuss my time at YESPhilly, while connecting the importance of media production by the youth as well as the creativity and critical thinking skills this establishes along the way. I will use my experiences in my field placement to provide concrete examples of youth led media projects, as well as building relationships and various life-lasting skills along the way.
