Wired Up

May 22, 2010 @ Roosevelt University (Chicago, Il)

As part of the Chain of Change project, we held a youth summit, Wired Up: Youth Take on Violence at Roosevelt University in May, which drew over 100 youth. The event included a multimedia exhibit of all Beyondmedia programming, adult and youth panels and media advocacy stations where youth could create video letters and portrait postcards to Mayor Daley, Police Superintendent Jody Weis, CPS CEO Ron Huberman and local aldermen and principals, addressing the changes needed in their schools and neighborhoods to provide safer communities and learning environments.
