In Session 2, kids will dive into their own art-making activity with Identity Collages, creating collages that reflect and celebrate Black culture, circles of community, and kids’ hopes for change in the world.
About Wee The People
Wee The People (WTP) is a Boston-based social justice project for children ages 4 to 12. Launched in 2015, WTP organizes interactive workshops and events that explore activism, protest, equity, and social action through the visual and performing arts.
Wee The People is grounded in the belief that if kids can understand fairness, they can understand justice.
WTP’s curriculum features originally designed, interactive games that tap into kids’ innate love of play to foster learning.
WTP programming also includes large-scale events incorporating sign-making, street marches, and teach-ins using children’s books aligned with core values of empathy, equity, racial justice, and social justice.
In addition, WTP organizes seminars focused on practices and strategies for race-conscious parenting.
