Description

• Working through a community network, Race To Knowledge combines the performing arts, computers, science and math with health education to raise the self esteem of high risk groups. One of Race To Knowledges objectives is to empower youth through integrating arts activities and linking community resources and programs in the Greater Grand Boulevard community, a low-income, African-American neighborhood on the South Side of Chicago. For example, the Art Zone; Youth Telling Their Own Story projects enables young people to create a time line of African-American history by doing research in Chicagos cultural institutions. The participants then create stories, plays, songs, and dances to reflect their own sense of their history and future. Race To Knowledge employs local artists, cultural groups, and cultural institutions to assist with writing, production, and performance of these reflections. The intensive writing and one-on-one interaction with artists allows the youth to build literacy, research, conflict resolution, leadership, and group skills. Race To Knowledge is also developing a Mobile Unit for Learning in Education and Health (MULEH), which will give young people access to computer technology in their own neighborhood that reaches beyond the schoolDay and place and creates a physical link between sites and programs to get at health issues that contribute to illiteracy. This program is an initiative closing the digital divide.
