Context:
The teenage community in Oakland is portrayed badly due to their exposition to constant violence, poverty, and drugs.
Content:

Form:
Students would discuss prompts inside of a car, while adults listened to their concerns and issues.
Stakeholders:
The Oakland high-school students and teachers were the primary performers and organizers
Audience:
The adults of the community who viewed the teenagers as criminals
Engagement Strategy:
The audience was forced to lean in through doors in order to fully listen to the students talk which forced them to be engaged.
Goal:
To change the way privilege communities viewed the “underprivileged” teens of Oakland, due to social media and the way they’re portrayed.
Values:
To show that these teenagers had potential to be great and serve the community and shine light on the mistake to portray them as “criminals”.
Resources:
The actual voices of the teenagers and the prompts they chose to talk about. Donations and money collected to pay for the parking lot, posters, etc.
Outcomes:
The project challenged the false view of the city’s youth created by the media, it was aired on live TV. Allowing the teenagers to express their voice and hopefully change people’s mind sets
