Mestizo Arts and Activism Project

Mestizo Arts and Activism program is a youth leadership, research, and education program involving high school students on the west side of Salt Lake City in community change. The objective is not only to learn more about young people’s concerns about their community, but to address and act upon identified issues. Drawing upon the assets of the diverse communities of the West Side, the Mestizo Arts & Activism program is a university-community partnership engaging the resources of community partners: the Mestizo Institute for Culture and Arts (MICA) and the West Side Leadership Institute of University Neighborhood Partners (UNP) & NeighborWorks Salt Lake (NWS).

As part of the program the youth participants develop participatory action research projects based on their own concerns. In Spring 2008 the youth research teams investigated issues of access to higher education for undocumented students; stereotypes of immigrants and discrimination in Salt Lake City. In the process, young people frame the questions to be investigated, they document and analyze conditions in their local areas, identify priority issues affecting young people, and develop action plans to affect change in their community.

Mestizo Artes y Activismo

Nuestro proyecto es un programa educativo de liderazgo que implica a los estudiantes en el lado oeste de Salt Lake City para crear cambio en la comunidad. El objetivo no es sólo aprender sobre las preocupaciones que tienen los jovenes por su comunidad, pero tambien tratar de hacer cosas para benificiar sus ciertos problemas. Usando los recursos de las comunidades diversas del lado oeste, el programa de mestizo artes y activismo es una sociedad de la universidad-comunitaria que dedica los recursos de sus socios: el instituto del mestizo para la cultura y los artes (MICA) y el instituto de la dirección del lado oeste de los socios de la vecindad de la universidad (UNP) y de NeighborWorks Salt Lake (NWS).

Como parte del programa, los participantes de la juventud desarrollan los proyectos de investigación basados en sus propias preocupaciones. En el año 2008 los equipos de investigación de la juventud investigaron como obtener acceso a una educación avanzada para estudiantes indocumentados; estereotipos de inmigrantes y de la discriminación en Salt Lake City. En el proceso, la gente joven enmarca las preguntas que se investigan, despues documentan y analizan condiciones en sus áreas locales, identifican prioridades que afectan a gente joven, y desarrollan planes de accion para hacer cambio en su comunidad.
