Crayons & Culture

What does 21st century education actually look like?

It looks like young people interviewing policy architects at the State House.
It looks like classrooms expanding into legislative chambers.
It looks like community as curriculum.

At Black Liberation Lobby Day, The Assata Girls of Western High School interviewed Dayvon Love, Director of Public Policy at Leaders of a Beautiful Struggle, engaging directly with policy conversations on reparations, tax equity, and youth justice.

This is immersive, civic-based learning.

This is what happens when schools, cultural institutions, grassroots organizations, and funders collaborate as co-educators in the learning ecosystem of our children.
Museums. Think-tanks. Elected officials. Community leaders.
All aligned around securing a liberated future.

Education does not live only in classrooms.

The community is the classroom!
Grateful to our partners and champions who make this ecosystem possible.
