The USB Mixtape highlights media created by youth, with a curriculum book of accompanying lesson plans that were co-designed by youth leaders and their adult allies. The workshops and media contained on the Mixtape cover a wide range of issues and skills from a youth-led, media based, and social justice movement perspective

This workshop is based on interviews that detroit summer conducted.

Detroit Summer:Come with a question Leave With a Print

during that process we explained detroit summer and played a game called the question game and we also based the questions around youth self image.we then used those answers from the game to use an interview. then we asked the audience to creatively impress their self which led to the youth take over screen printing workshop where we showed the audience how to screen print.

WHERE DID DETROIT SUMMER STAY AT DURING THE AMC??

Detroit summer stayed at the wane state campus with the dfy or better known as Detroit future youth team.

IS THE AMC ALL WORK AND NO PLAY??
