It’s a way of thinking about education where we imagine a system in which every student’s identity and history is reflected in their schools, where students are seen as assets to learning and not deficits in need of an illusory “fix,” and where teachers and students alike view education as a vehicle for improving the world.
Last month, New York City’s Panel for Educational Policy voted to formally adopt what’s known as Culturally Responsive-Sustaining Education (CRSE) as policy throughout the nation’s largest public school district. This is a monumental feat that should be celebrated by every student, parent and ...

Recently, NYC teachers and instructors participated in a week long summer institute where they learned how to produced short form documentaries. Participants created docs about the influence of social media, and the awareness of immigration detention centers.

At EVC, we believe #FamiliesBelongTogether and no child should be forcibly separated from a parent. As an organization committed to empowering youth voices, we’re sharing the experience of one our alumni who has experienced family separation while crossing the border unaccompanied. Perla is an EVC alum and currently works as immigrant rights activist at Make the Road New York. She worked on the 2015 EVC film “Growing Apart,” which highlighted the journeys of undocumented youth crossing the border alone and the struggles they continue to face. Perla celebrated her 11th birthday in a detention center shortly after crossing the border. “We were the only two kids on the bus that they were taking us to the detention center. And the day was so cold, so cold. We had to lay down on the floor of the bus, since the motor makes it warm. We had to lay down over there. We were in a jail, and we could look through and see kids playing outside in house. And I was thinking, when am I gonna see my mom?” Hear more of Perla’s story.

In 2006 EVC youth producers documented the struggle for #immigrantRights in AMERICA'S INVISIBLE BACKBONE. The excerpt below features interviews with activists from Project Voice and Immigrant Communities in Action.
In 1995, high school students from the Coalition School For Social Change interviewed renowned scholar of black history Dr. Manning Marable for an EVC documentary on #Reconstruction. This first segment of their historic interview resonates today, as Marable reminds us that the #14thAmendment states that no one—not even the president—is above the law. #blackhistorymonth #13th Institute for Research in African-American Studies at Columbia University
With the #inauguration of Donald Trump as 45th president of the United States, our nation's core values and the safety of our communities—especially the most vulnerable among us—are at risk. For over 30 years EVC has supported young media-makers to foster hope, create dialogue, and resist injustice. EVC helps youth thrive as both students and community leaders, and many of EVC's media-makers go on to work on the front lines of social justice work. Perla Lopez is one remarkable example. In her words, EVC "inspired me to finish high school...and now I am the first one in my family to go to college." At EVC she learned to use filmmaking as an art form to educate the community to speak up and defend their rights as undocumented immigrants. Perla is now a community organizer with Make the Road New York and is working to safeguard immigrant families, fight homophobia, and push back against police brutality. We need creative young leaders like Perla now more than ever.
