A weekly rotation of Making Justice workshops and resources target at-risk and court-involved teenagers connected to the Dane County Juvenile Court Detention Center, the Dane County Juvenile Court Shelter Home, the Neighborhood Intervention Program, and several classrooms within Madison Metropolitan School District.
The project-based workshops foster hands-on, peer-supported learning and digital literacy that connect students with diverse community and campus partners, including faculty and students from University of Wisconsin-Madison and MATC. Workshop participants create graphic and 3D art, photographic, spoken word, storytelling, performance and video projects documenting themselves, their communities and the justice system. Collaborative projects accommodate a variety of interests, skills and learning styles, and are contextualized to connect with current teenage experiences and community resources. Check out the CREATIONS page for examples of the projects brought to teens on a weekly rotation.
