1619 Afterschool Partnership Program – Oct 9

Posted by Pulitzer Center on September 27, 2022

How can The 1619 Project and other underreported stories sharpen students’ critical thinking, empathy, and communication skills? How can we integrate the lessons and themes from The 1619 Project into the rich landscape of out-of-school time programs?

In this paid, virtual program, a small cohort of afterschool education professionals will explore these questions in community with other passionate out-of-school time educators, award-winning journalists, and the Pulitzer Center Education Team.

Between October 2022 and February 2023, educators in the 1619 Afterschool Partnership program will engage in six professional development workshops designed to support them in planning and implementing activities that introduce The 1619 Project and its themes to their students. Educators will be provided with a bank of activities that can be implemented as-is or adapted for use in their context.

Applications are due by Sunday, October 9, 2022 at 11:59pm EDT.
