Teaching artists will guide participants in writing prompts, performing arts exploration, and community meet-ups to create an original performance. Alongside utilizing STC curriculum in writing personal narratives about their perspectives on peace, pre- and post- surveys will be used to assess growth of learning in art area and quality of experience. 2: Participants expand their understanding of the opposite age cohort, make connections, and find new perspectives for peace through multiple art forms. Pre- and post- project surveys of participants will be conducted to assess depth of engagement with topic, experiential process with cohorts, changes in culture, and skills and knowledge in the arts.
Participants successfully created an original performance through written and performed art activities, along with in person and virtual meetings. Writing samples and activities evaluated the effectiveness of the project. Participant writing was utilized in development of project activities, and the final presentation. One-on-one assessments were done with participants and parents/guardians. 2: Participants built relationships with the opposite age cohort, expanded their perspective on peace, and made personal and artistic connections.
