On October 22nd, YouthLAB members Spencer Fitzsimmons, Lori Moody, Sadia Nawab and Zane Scheuerlein were invited to Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism to train the McCormick Tribune Fellows how to blog. We joined with youth from Free Spirit Media to blog with these established media managers about the representation of youth in the news and media. See the blog at http://fellows2007.blogspot.com/

In 2006, a group of parents at Evanston Township High School spied on the Facebook sites of several students. They reported some of these to the school administration for disciplinary action. YouthLAB member Zane Scheuerlein created this poster above an allegory of the event done in the style of artist Barry Kite. Thanks to Ms. Boyer at ETHS, Zane’s terrific Graphic Communications teacher.

The National Coalition Against Censorship is featuring YouthLAB and Zane’s design on their site. Check it out!

A short video summarizing some of the most important characteristics of students today - how they learn, what they need to learn, their goals, hopes, dreams, what their lives will be like, and what kinds of changes they will experience in their lifetime. Created by Michael Wesch in collaboration with 200 students at Kansas State University

This is a collectively authored map by YouthLAB participants of the slave trade, migration routes of our ancestors and present families and our dreams for future journeys. It is individually customized by each of us telling stories that are deeply personal and yet politically and historically situated.

Red and grey lines show the slave trade routes. Blue lines show more recent family migrations. Yellow shows trips we have made and places we have visited. Pink marks the spots in Barbados and Blue marks spots in US. Film camera icons are where you can watch videos we have made. Suitcases are places we dream of visiting. We are always working on it so check in often.
