The EDLC conducted an economic democracy fellowship pilot in 2022 that collaborated with several Bronx schools, neighborhoods and NYC-based cooperatives. The pilot engaged students and partners in three phases of programming, Grounding and Introduction, Listening and Learning, and Synthesis and Design. This carousel/series is a summary of the collective experience. It merges work and quotes generated by the students themselves with photo documentation of their experience in a “composition notebook” theme. The goal of this recounting was to contextualize the rich learnings and takeaways of the pilot in a visually compelling and accessible format for a general audience. It was also important to incorporate and visibilize all of the partners in a way that didn’t feel contrived or appear cluttered. The result received much accolade and engagement among educators, participants, and a wider audience.
