Seattle - Department of Education Youth Listening Tour
In just over 2 weeks, young people made a video in answer to the questions posed by the Department of Education Listening Tour. They interviewed each other, as well as visiting a local school and interviewing youth about their reasons for going to college and some of the difficulties involved in doing so. They were able to make a 5 minute video that represented diverse viewpoints and expressed some of the struggles of many young people today in taking that next step.
