This curriculum has been developed collectively by DFY network partners over the past year, drawing on the wealth of knowledge these organizations have experienced from conducting years of youth centered interactive workshops.
The Curriculum Mixtape was developed through a process involving a series of curriculum building and facilitation trainings. Youth leaders and adult allies worked side by side, ensuring that youth were able to acquire concrete skills to shape these workshops according to their insights and visions. We refined the workshops through an evolving iterative feedback process that involved youth and adult allies. Each time we facilitated the workshops we learned how to make them more effective and applicable to a spectrum of possible participants.
The DFY Curriculum Mixtape is designed to have multiple layers of impact on personal, community wide and social change levels.
Personal impact-
we hope that organizations, organizers and youth leaders adapt the curriculum to fit the needs of their group and facilitate these workshops for their community. Additionally, participants exposed to these workshops should benefit from an expanded consciousness, understanding of themselves and their desire to impact change.
Community impact-
when these workshops are facilitated within a community they can create the platform for authentic interpersonal community relationships, build alignment and unity, and create spaces for critical dialogue and collaboration.
Social change impact-
This curriculum is designed to be an opportunity for those who implement it to create the beautiful world that they want to see. It can open up possibilities of a new future for Detroit and other cities: where youth can take the lead in addressing crises on a holistic and systemic level. Through this curriculum we are seeking to create alternatives for the systems that constrict our lives and possibilities. Ultimately, we are aiming to create spaces that are youth-led, community centered, and self-determined.
