GABRIEL'S * Community Visions Project I USED TO TEACH ENGLISH The location is an English class in a comprehensive, inner city public highschool in North Philadelphia. The scene is a student-centered, culturallydiverse classroom, and the lesson is all about the impact the arts, specifically play writing, can have on the education of young people. The video explores the transformation of a teacher and her students. Marsha Pincus, through her search for more effective ways to teach, becomes a classroom mentor who encourages students to listen and develop their own voices. Her students, who for the first time in their lives are invited to bring the whole range of their lives and culture into the classroom, explain how they have become articulate, persuasive and inspired to write plays."

Southeast Asian Youth Activism
Fearless Crickets Southeast Asian youth activism. by Nguyen Thi TuyetTrinh 7/29/01. The population of Massachusetts Southeast Asians
http://www.aamovement.net/viewpoints/fearless1.html

Extractions: The population of Massachusetts Southeast Asians, comprised mainly of Cambodians, Vietnamese, and Lao, are increasing significantly in the Greater Boston and Lowell, Worcester, Springfield, and Lawrence urban areas. Most Southeast Asians arrived in the US during the 1980s as refugees, escaping unlivable conditions of war and poverty in their homelands. To their surprise and dismay, they continue to have to struggle with endless forces of exclusion and assimilation in the US. Immigrant and refugee youth develop extremely comprehensively through their bicultural and bilingual strengths and their ability to be cultural mediators between the mainstream and ethnic communities. This is especially true of Southeast Asian youth due to their unique "boat" journey. Most traveled through harsh conditions by foot, then by boat to a refugee camp, awaiting their immigration status to arrive to the U.S. The development of Southeast Asian youth can be better understood in a family-school-community context where youth serve as cultural mediators and are responsible for bridging resources to their parents and acting as linguistic and cultural interpreter.

Extractions: Curriculum ... Home YLSN-sponsored summits explore the "how's" of movement building and community empowerment. They create safe neutral space for people from diverse backgrounds, perspectives and experiences to meet each other to share talents, strategies and aspirations drawing from past and present experiences of youth activism. Summits combine discussions, multi-media/on-line resources and performances to nourish activism and networks. In February of 2001, the YLSN sponsored the first "Study and Struggle: Intergenerational Youth Activist Summit, Celebrating 41 Years and 3 Generations of Youth Movements," at the Josephine Butler Parks Center in Washington, DC. Over 200 people attended the day and a half event, including 11 cultural performances, primarily youth from the DC Metro area. Out-of-town guests included activists from Mississippi, San Francisco, New York City and Quebec bringing their perspectives and experiences to support youth activism in Washington, DC. Equally important was the on-line dialogues with dozens of youth groups in the DC area and youth activists from around the USA and Germany, Northern Ireland, Wales, Moscow, Sierra Leone, Bosnia and elsewhere, creating a broad discussion on the themes of the summit.

http://www.onlineopinion.com.au/2002/Feb02/Lyons.htm

Extractions: Posted 28/02/02 Sign up here for free email updates! O-week is a very strange time on campus. Hordes of first years (identifiable by a certain openness of expression), descend on the university to be herded around on tours by overenthusiastic volunteers, deluged with freebies, and attacked on all sides by people recruiting for clubs and societies ranging from Campus Bible Study to Resistance to the Chocolate club. As I write this I am entering my fifth o-week, and my fourth o-week spent recruiting new members for Nexus Australian Youth Network. As a member of those recruiting hosts, I have always found my organisation a challenging one to sell. Nexus is quite hard to pin down into a slogan, and the people it attracts arent readily identifiable as members of a particular interest group or demographic. The phrase we were set up to facilitate the evolution of a diverse, open, politicised youth culture doesnt go down too well with the free cup of Lipton Ice Tea.

Extractions: Clinton students created the Social Action Club in the aftermath of September 11. Several students, disturbed by the US bombing campaign in Afghanistan, wanted to do something to help innocent Afghanis. We had many ideas, but finally chose to design and sell t-shirts. We sold the shirts to the Clinton community and in Union Square. The project was a huge success, raising over $500 for Afghan Women's Mission. We also participated in a dance-a-thon at PS 3 to raise money for their School to School project in Afghanistan. In addition, the Social Action Club participated in several school budget cut protests. We recruited over thirty Clinton students and parents to join the protests at City Hall. We were seen and heard on Channel 1 News and 1010 WINS radio.

Extractions: Sarah Stephen (Resistance organiser, Hobart): We see wars and conflicts, oppression, hunger and cruelty on TV all the time. We aren't given the tools to understand it, but it disturbs our true human compassion that has not yet been distorted by years of being told that there's nothing we can do about it. So we resist and get active. In the environment movement my experience is that the energy and enthusiasm that young people can bring continuously inspires generations of older activists. Ro Evans (Macquarie University student, Sydney): Resistance has been very active in supporting the democracy movement in Indonesia this year and condemning the Australian government's support for the Suharto dictatorship. Students held a 24-hour hunger strike on October 28 in support of political prisoners, many of them our age, who are awaiting trial for subversion. This charge carries the death penalty, simply for demonstrating and holding pickets like we do here. We have no choice but to protest this. Alex Bainbridge (Resistance organiser, Newcastle):
