The Art Of Getting Creative In Education – A Conversation About Funding And Resources

The Crawford Family Forum | Monday, June 17, 7:30pm - 9:00pm We’ve hosted conversations about the benefits of arts education for English language learners, system-involved youth, and people of all ages. Oftentimes, parents, teachers, artists, and advocates ask: But how do we take it from idea to reality? Oh, and how do we pay for it?

Crime and policing – a conversation determined by you (SoCal Solutions)

Tateuchi Democracy Forum | Wednesday, May 22, 7:00pm - 8:30pm KPCC In Person is talking law enforcement, and you picked the topic. We started by inviting your questions on crime and public safety. We narrowed them to three, and you let us know what matters most by voting for the question you wanted as the focus of our conversation. The responses have been tallied, and the top vote-getter is: “Does law enforcement’s routine lack of transparency foster corruption, abuse, nepotism, wrongful convictions, discrimination, prejudice?”

Unheard LA – live in Little Tokyo

Aratani Theatre | Sunday, May 19, 5:30pm - 7:00pm Unheard LA is a celebration of the stories and experiences that give shape to Los Angeles. It’s fitting then that we continue our third season in the historic downtown neighborhood of Little Tokyo. With a history dating back to the 1880s, Little Tokyo is the largest and most populous of the remaining “Japantowns” in the United States.

Tateuchi Democracy Forum | Wednesday, April 10, 7:00pm - 8:30pm A college degree has become essential for upward mobility, but many say our public schools aren’t doing enough to prepare students for college.

Unheard LA – live in North Hollywood

Show Your Work — stories of arts education in LA

The Crawford Family Forum | Saturday, March 9, 11:00am - 12:30pm We wanted to learn more about arts education in the Los Angeles area, especially the people teaching it. That’s why we asked current and former teachers how their students and work have shaped their lives: maybe poetry helped bring a shy student into the conversation, or a drawing provided insight into a student’s emotional struggles.
