Youth researchers in social justice movements have a responsibility to share the stories of the unheard. This workshop explores ways youth can ethically collect stories from their community to understand the problems they hope to address through research. Youth researchers will help participants understand how to conduct qualitative interviews and use storytelling and music as ways to examine issues. Participants will leave with skills to locate and collect sacred stories by connecting with other youth, adults, and elders in their communities.
This session will be facilitated by youth in the Uhuru Youth Scholars program in St. Paul, MN. The presenters have been conducting community action research throughout the 2014-15 school year.
