Youth as Our "Present Already": Youth-Led Spaces at the Center of Advocacy, Research, Practice, and Design

Fri, April 12, 4:55 to 6:25pm, Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, Floor: Level 3, Room 302

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium centers ‘youth as experts’ and also at the center of advocacy, research, practice, and design. By emphasizing on intergenerational learning, relationships, and collaborative forms of knowledge, this session offers potential ways to disrupt inequitable and hierarchical relationships. Education scholars, youth research centers, and youth-led collectives share four different projects that highlight the sustained work that goes into building collective practices and alternate spaces of intergenerational learning, creating, and resisting. As an intergenerational panel that also includes youth-led collectives from two large urban cities in the Northeast U.S., this symposium creates a space of learning and perspective taking from youth who are already doing the work.
