Youth Voice Activities
"Only through
action do words take power." - Freechild Project
motto
The
Freechild Project defines Youth Voice as
the active, distinct, and concentrated
ways young people represent themselves
throughout society.
Buckminster Fuller
once said, "If you want to change how someone
thinks, give up. You cannot change the way people
think. Instead, give people tools that help them do
something different." As you read this you are
likely a youth activist or an adult ally who really
cares about young people. You read a lot of the the
different parts of the
Youth Voice Toolbox and you think you're
ready. But what now?
Take Action
The activities in the Youth Voice Action Kit were
designed to train youth
and adults about the knowledge and wisdom
of young people today, and how young people can be
actively, meaningfully, and powerfully. Created by
The
Freechild Project's trainers, these
learning opportunities were
designed and tested with thousands of young
people and adult allies across the country,
and have been used successfully with a
wide variety of participants. We are
providing them here free to encourage the
growth of the
Youth Voice movement, as well as to
encourage ongoing usage of The Freechild
Project website.
If you choose to use
these activities please give credit to
Freechild, including our name and website address -
it's the only way we'll grow. |
