300 Teens in 21 California Libraries to Examine Hidden Meanings in Everyday Places in Innovative Writing, Photography Program; 10-Week Statewide Program Aims to Connect Teens to Their Communities

From Ascribe Newsfeed:

The California Council for the Humanities has awarded grants to 21 California libraries to conduct an innovative Council-developed photography and writing project for teens this summer and fall.

The program was inspired by the work of John Stilgoe, professor of landscape history at Harvard University, and his book "Outside Lies Magic: Regaining History and Awareness in Everyday Places."

"Stilgoe sees everyday landscape as a historical record and wants to awaken people to the excitement of going outside and exploring their surroundings," said Council Executive Director Ralph Lewin.

"Senior Programs Manager Felicia Kelley developed the My Place program by expanding on Stilgoe's ideas and making them accessible to kids," Lewin added.

In addition to connecting young people to their communities, the My Place program aims to increase intergenerational understanding, promote civic engagement and highlight the role of libraries as centers of community cultural life.

The Council's new California Stories campaign, How I See It, is helping young people to share - in their own words and through a variety of media - what their lives are like, what they care about, and what it's like to grow up in today's California.

For more information, visit the Council's website at http://www.californiastories.org or contact the Council's administrative office at 415-391-1474.
