2013 REGIONAL YOUTH JUSTICE & LEADERSHIP EXHIBITION
Saturday, April 27, 2013
11:00am - 4:00pm
Wayne State University Student Center
5221 Gullen Mall
Detroit, MI 48202
You are invited to the 2013 Regional Youth Justice & Leadership Exhibition!
The exhibition will feature the hard work Michigan’s Youth have been doing all year to learn about the social justice issues that are important to them. They have been identifying and implementing the strategies that work in their community to address these issues, and they would like to share that work with you.
Join our Regional Youth Interns, participants in our Regional Youth Justice Consortium, and our peers and friends as we spend the day exploring Youth exhibit tables, participating in workshops designed by youth, watching youth produced films, and listening to open mic performances.
Registration is available for individual Youth, individual adults, or as a school/community group. All groups must have at least one Adult Ally.
Youth in Michigan can contribute to the event in one of the following ways:
1. Submit a workshop proposal
2. Submit a film
3. Showcase work at an Exhibit Table
4. An Open Mic performance
All submissions will be reviewed by the Youth Peer Review Committee and to determine finalists. If you are interested, please email jbest@miroundtable.org or indicate your interest on your registration form.
