Juniors Complete Four-Month Social Justice Deep Dive through Annual Religion 11 Praxis Project
Each year the entire junior class engages in the “The Competence to See and the Courage to Act Praxis Project” during the second semester of Religion 11. The goal of this four-month project is to enable our students to dive deep into their understanding of a social injustice through research and interviews. Once they have the competence to see the situation, students engage in a service project to respond to the injustice, in hopes of creating a more humane and just society. They conclude their experience by presenting a video to their teachers and peers and answering follow-up questions.
The 2019 Praxis Film Festival was held last Friday and Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. The information was impressive and the experience was powerful as students addressed 21 different issues including racial inequality, developmental disabilities, US prisons, treatment of veterans, food deserts, immigration and much more. Enjoy the top-scoring video exploring the topic of developmental disabilities and possible ways to help. It was created by team members Chas Higgins ’20, Jorja Hlifka ’20, Anthony Iacobell ’20, Jeff Li ’20 and Ian Miller ’20.
