Genius, Joy, & Love

How can we put racial justice and equity into practice? How can we elevate genius in ourselves and our communities? How do we center love and wellness in education? Genius, Joy, and Love is a five-day intensive summer institute that will bring together Black youth (age 14-22) and adult educators to explore these questions. Sessions will be 9am-4pm on July 29-August 2 at MuseumLab. Each day of the institute will involve a workshop with a leading social justice researcher and/or advocate; arts and making activities that explore the workshop’s topic through poetry, art, and song; healing and wellness activities; and guided action planning sessions that support Fellows to put their learning into practice and make lasting change in their communities. Selected Fellows will receive a $500 stipend.
