Student Photo/Essay Exhibit

All are welcome to attend the opening show and exhibit of the latest "Through Students' Eyes" project images and writings.  Please join us at Connections for Hope Saturday, October 30th, from 1-5pm for the exhibit opening, presentation at 2:30.

Through Students' Eyes" (TSE) project has worked with over 400 high school and middle school youth worldwide to address three questions through photographs and written reflections:

  • What is the purpose of school?
  • What helps you succeed in school?
  • What gets in the way of your school success?

TSE was started by veteran teachers, activists, photographers, and teacher educators in 2004, in response to the consistently high dropout rates common in most urban centers in the United States. The project has collaborated with nearly 400 students worldwide, displayed their work at numerous regional and national exhibitions, published articles and catalogues of youths' images and reflections, and contributed to the dialogue about US schools and their abilities to serve their most diverse and disenfranchised constituents.
