Grand Concourse BridgeUP Scholars were concerned about gang violence in their own communities. After several brainstorming sessions and discussions, we arrived at the Driving Question "How can we educate the Grand Concourse community on the causes and effects of gang violence on young people to empower them to become agents of change?" To help educate the community, our site decided to create a web experience where people can learn about some of the different causes and effects of gang violence, as well as how some groups and individuals are working to change the narrative. Using articles, documentaries, films, music, and a graphic novel, our Scholars wrote posts and created infographics for an online resource that can be used to educate our and other communities about gangs and gang violence in cities across America. |
