| Fostering Economic Justice in North Carolina
by bob ()
The North Carolina Justice Center (NCJC) is North Carolina's leading
private, nonprofit anti-poverty organization. Its mission is to reduce
and eliminate poverty in North Carolina by helping to ensure that every
North Carolina household gains access to the resources, services and
fair treatment that it needs in order to enjoy economic security.
As one of our recent education activities, Steve Schnapp of the UFE
Education Team, traveled south in late January to help the NCJC and its
allies leverage popular education approaches to strengthen and build a
base for economic justice.
The two-and-a-half day Training of Trainers workshop was
attended by 10 NCJC staff, and several activists from their partner
organizations around the state. It focused on popular education
principles and practices, establishing an eight-step process for
curriculum design, and exploring how to enhance the community education
work being done at the NCJC. The workshop was considered a great
success and plans are in the works for a continued educational
partnership between NCJC and UFE.
