Upbringing -> depression -> revisit community

Story of ARI

As an ethnically Jewish individual, I find strength in my heritage and the values instilled in me during my youth, despite not believing in God and grappling with complex questions about identity and belonging. Encountering antisemitism, from swastikas to chants questioning my people's right to our ancestral homeland, has sharply highlighted the prejudice against my people, profoundly shaping my resilience and perspective. These experiences have refined my focus on what truly matters: the unwavering support of friends and family, emphasizing the tangible, immediate aspects of love and community above all else.

Theory + Goal

When young people are active in and amongst their community, they are kinder, happier, and more hopeful human beings

MOBILIZE! will organize NuVu students to experience activism through engagement with their community and local organizations to create a prolonged base of activists.

We'd be there for probably an hour at the beginning to make a public comment to the CPSD School Committee.

We would love if you would take some time to join us, and support our presentation.

Wyatt:

School has always been a tough topic for me. I've experienced 7 educational environments in my life, and it took a long time for me to find one that I feel comfortable with. I decided to leave most of those schools because I wasn't learning and wasn't enjoying them. As an example, in 5th grade, I was forced to take Spanish and everyone else had been learning it for a year. Whenever I got a question wrong, I felt horrible for being punished because I wasn't taught something. I'm motivated by my past and how the major flaws in my education affected my life.

Charlie: I have always been somewhat behind my other classmates due to me being neurodivergent, even with extra time in class for doing work, I still was falling behind. During covid, I tried homeschooling, and I learned far more than I ever had at school. last year I began to realize the flaws of the school system and how things were being taught, I eventually decided to leave public school and go to Nuvu instead.

We are trying to reach students who were harmed by the infectivity of the average teaching methods as well as those who haven't so we can help inform them on the problem. We believe that, right now, students will not be prepared for their lives outside of school. There needs to be change, and it needs to happen soon.

Story of Us:

Story of US:

Our community is students all over America who have been hurt by an outdated system, mainly our fellow classmates from NuVu. We want to reach out to them by making this video essay/documentary to help them understand that they are not alone in this outdated and undeveloped system.

Story of NOW:

Our only ask is after watching the video, to take out your phone, send to others who may be a part of the school system, and ask them to consider change, and to be more flexible in their classrooms/schools.

Theory of Change: If people learn how to better advocate for themselves and their medical issues, the result will be a more streamlined healthcare system where doctors and patients understand each other because they will have learned more about the healthcare process.

Organizing Sentence: We are organizing our local community to pursue more transparent and easier access to healthcare resources by creating a website/app to achieve a more streamlined medical process by the end of this studio.
