This conference will introduce or reconnect us to descriptive processes (which focus on the strengths of kids, parents and teachers) , allowing us to look deeply at children’s work and words in order to strengthen our capacity to teach and learn alongside them.
Librarians from Brooklyn Public Library Adams Street location lead for an exciting and engaging storytime session, along with singing and rhymes. Each month they select a book to pair with the Education Center’s monthly nature theme.
Please join us this Friday, January 17th at 12pm at the Brooklyn Museum for a free, guided tour of the special exhibit: Elizabeth Catlett: A Black Revolutionary Artist and All That It Implies. Growing up during the Great Depression, artist Elizabeth Catlett witnessed class inequality, racial violence, and U.S. imperialism firsthand, all while pursuing an artistic education grounded in the tenets of modernism. Catlett would protest injustices for nearly a century, via both soaring artworks and on-the-ground activism. This trip is open to all KCC students. Please visit M230 to sign up or email [email protected]. Space is limited.
This family friendly program, co-curated with the BAMkids Parent Advisory Circle, immerses young people in art forms that express the importance of acts of service and collaborative work, while knowing that your best doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s. Activities include imaginative movement, creating a collaborative tape mural, celebrating friendship and family in a vintage photo booth, and sharing inspirational messages.
Our children are facing the challenges of a warming world head on. They have a right to understand the realities of the climate crisis and what it means for them – and the adults in their lives have a responsibility to provide that knowledge as best they can. Join Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy for a special lecture and event with Harriet Shugarman, an internationally renowned activist, policy analyst, economist and author of the book, How to Talk to Your Kids About Climate Change, Turning Angst into Action. She'll share her unique insights and some best practices for having these meaningful conversations.
The NYC Youth Agenda Coalition elevates youth voices through participatory action research and policy-making. At this event, youth will explore interactive Policy Stations to learn about our research, recommendations, and future vision, and share your experiences on issues like economic mobility, education equity, environmental justice, housing security, and mental health. Your insights will shape our advocacy as we prepare to meet with local officials this spring—we can’t do it without you!
