Urban Fairytales

2011

Sister-school program from October 2010 to June 2011.

A sister school program will be implemented between the Joliot-Curie Elementary School of La Courneuve and the Thurgood Marshall Academy Lower School of Harlem. A collection of urban fairytales will be created on video by young children in both schools and then shared over the internet between them. The Family of Poets will work with the rappers of OBA I, Laster, and the children of Harlem. Stories and videos will be shared through a blog. The Family of Poets traveling from Harlem to La Courneuve will be the first physical link between the schools.
