Imagine dozens of tables in a huge hall, with 12-15 children sitting at each. They negotiate with each other, squabble, and make up. They need to decide among themselves what to put in their city center: a shopping district, a government building, a giant playground, a rocket launch pad or a huge prison? How will the people of this new world live together: will they be divided into poor and rich? Will they have bosses? How will they treat visitors, the elderly, and what rights would children have in their world? (Nika Dubrowski, Anthropology for Kids)
We invite individuals, groups and institutions to submit a short summary of innovative projects that seek to make anthropology accessible to, and with, children and youth. Please send us a 250-word summary of your project/initiative by 22 August 2020. We’ll curate a thematic thread on the basis of these entries.
If you…
– Are trying to make anthropology accessible to, and with, children and youth
– Are developing teaching tools/resources informed by anthropology
– Are working to introduce anthropology into schools
– Are designing anthropology tours for children in museums, exhibitions or other public spaces
-Have other related experiences and insights that are so innovative we couldn’t possibly anticipate them in this open call
Please write to submissions@allegralaboratory.net
We are looking forward to collaborating with you.
