Education
In the course of producing the 1999 People's Poetry Gathering event, we created a number of other alliances with a wide range of organizations. Teacher's & Writers Collaborative co-published a curriculum guide for the event, and we worked closely with two youth organizations, Youth Speaks and the Bronx Writer's Core. For a sample of that collaboration, please see our curriculum on "The People's Poetry Gathering: Oral Traditions from Around the World."
