Kid Power! A Conversation with Marley Dias
Free Livestream
Join NH Civics on Thursday, March 12, at 11:00 am for "Kid Power!," a virtual William W. Treat Talk with author and global change maker Marley Dias. She will be joined by 4th graders from Somersworth, NH, for a conversation on energizing youth to be active participants in our civic society and prepare to be future leaders.
This event will be livestreamed courtesy of our partner, NHPBS, and is made possible by the William W. Treat Foundation, McLane Middleton, and a grant from New Hampshire Humanities, with support from New Hampshire Charitable Foundation.
Educators & Adults
While the energy of "Kid Power!" captures the student's imagination, this session is designed to explore the foundational principles of civic engagement and agency.
Key themes for this discussion include:
- Identifying Community Needs: Recognizing gaps in representation (as seen in Marley's #1000BlackGirlBooks campaign).
- The Literacy-Action Connection: How reading and storytelling serve as catalysts for social change.
- Effective Advocacy: Practical steps for students to voice their opinions to decision-makers.
- Sustaining Momentum: Moving beyond a single moment to create a lasting movement.
Note for Teachers: This event aligns with Social Studies standards regarding community involvement and the roles/responsibilities of citizens in a democratic society
