Description
Incarcerated youth are overwhelmingly prevented from thriving and contributing to the social, physical, and economic fabric of their communities. Using a film production model rooted in empathy and collaboration, Tribeca Film Institute (TFI) leverages the power of storytelling as a teaching and transformative healing tool for those affected by the criminal justice system, with the goal of helping justice-involved youth in New York City rebuild social and cultural interconnectedness within their communities. TFI recognizes that learning and community engagement opportunities occur everywhere, and that schools are only one piece of a larger ecosystem of growth that happens at home, online, with peers, and within informal or alternative learning spaces such as jails, prisons, and secure and non-secure detention centers. Funding will support the evaluation and strengthening of the ‘Tribeca Teaches’ connected learning program for justice-involved youth, in which young people “on both sides of the bars” participate in collaborative storytelling through film, with a specific focus on youth in detention centers served by New York City Administration for Children’s Services (ACS).
