We couple youth-led SDG curriculum and discourse with existing art programming and entrepreneurial resources. We enable students to leverage artistic skills and thoughts in order to individually process and interpret both local and global challenges highlighted by the UN SDGs.
PROGRAM GOALS
Develop expressional and entrepreneurial skills for youth
Raise awareness and comprehensive understanding of the SDGs among the youth population
Promote transformative, local, and global action led by youth
We elevate youth to empower the world with the freedom of expression and interpretation of our prescribed Global Goals. We leverage the arts as communication vehicle to educate and inspire while moving ideas forward to invoke mobilization.
We use a holistic and transformational systems thinking approach that addresses learning content and outcomes, pedagogy and the learning mediums. Therefore, our curriculum generates interactive expression and transforms environments. What we ultimately aim for is a shift from exposure to exchange. This calls for an action-oriented pedagogy which supports self-directed learning, participative and collaborative application, and the linking of education and practice. The practice portion of our program will be developed with our trusted partners to enable youth to generate wealth for themselves with nonfungible tokens (NFTs) and other wealth-generating avenues while contributing to their local economies.
