This semester’s VOX INVESTIGATES topic is “Equity in Education.” Which means that a team of teen reporters and journalists will be exploring the education system in Atlanta. We kicked things off with a community dialogue where teens were invited to share their experiences so far. Take a look at what happened when the topic of being a low income student was brought up.
VOX ATL teen staff member Isabella understand what it’s like to deal with anxiety and high-stress situations. That’s why wants to show you how to calm down by making do-it-yourself glitter jars. Watch her quick and fun instructional video on how to do it!
Also, check out her article and podcast “Five Ways to Break the Barriers of Social Anxiety.”
As a part of our Vox Investigates: Mental Health coverage, we sat down with teens from Meadowcreek High School to get their thoughts on how mental health is handled in school. Among there concerns were not enough counselors and not enough communication. Watch the video to see what they had to say. Special thanks to the Latin American Association and to VOX ATL volunteer Joshua Cubas for filming.
You are invited to join VOX ATL’s teens at our annual VOX-A-PALOOZA celebration where we will highlight all of the work that has been created this semester as well as give you an opportunity to meet the teens themselves. You will also be one of the first to receive the newest print editon of VOX Investigates: Mental Health! RSVP HERE.
