Street Stories

I just found out about a production by students at Bur Oak Secondary School in Markham focused on the issues that can lead to young people being driven to the streets. The pilot drama unit is an initiative linked to new curriculum materials that are now available for teachers on www.homelesshub.ca. Education is key if we are to bust stereotypes and understand root causes. Read the article from the Toronto Star.

Excellent Example of Creativity

Submitted by Brent on Fri, 2009-10-30 13:39.

Hi Kim,

What a great example of engaging youth in creative activities that address major social issues such as youth poverty and homelessness. I'm definitely going to learn more about this curriculum at Burr Oaks and share it with my network.
