Girls Who Plan with Oakland Alliance Academy (Oakland, CA)

Girls, Inc - Youth Engagement Workshop - "Girls Who Plan" initiative with the Oakland Alliance Academy 8th grade girls. YEP! partnered with the global organization Girls, Inc to teach 8th grade girls about urban planning. The students learned about the different types of planning, how cities are created, how to use their voice to create change in their communities, and participated in creating memories through storytelling using artistic odds and ends to create a childhood memory and also participated in creating a city by getting into groups and drawing the framework of their city on poster board, deciding on a vision for their city, and then placing their sculptural childhood memories onto the poster board to act as a sculpture park.
