PROJECT CALENDAR Modified BIE Timeline for the Whole Project
This project addresses the question: Can F.L. Schlagle Students mobilize our community to meet its most pressing needs?Students were given a list of current community issues and asked to select the one issue they felt most passionately about. Then they created a project that aimed to mobilize the community to address that issue. The two issues our students chose were tobacco use and violence.
● The tobacco use group partnered with JUNTOS and created this video as their final product. They went through the Taking Down Tobacco curriculum and spent some time receiving training from Rebecca Garza.
● The violence group organized a community potluck titled “Join My Table” to dialogue with the community about issues related to violence. At this event, we had about 140 participants. We set up round tables in the gym with food and a structured dialogue around how to prevent violence in the community. Students gave a short presentation about how to report violence. They also worked with a spoken word group to present a performance that illustrated the present state of violence in the community based on the interviews they conducted in the community. The event ended with a PLEDGE wall where members wrote pledges to take action against violence in the community. This group partnered with KCKPSPD, a representative from the DA’s office, as well as Livable Neighborhoods.
