We're Researching Stomping Ground

Data makes the world go round. In this episode, we're joined by Tina and Maddy, our incredible partners from SUNY Geneseo who have been helping us design and conduct a research project about camp for the past couple of years. We believe that kids become more radically empathetic decision makers by practicing, and we're collecting the research to back it up. We talk about what shape this project has taken in the past, all that we've learned, and where it's going next summer and beyond. We are shifting to a much more camper-led approach, we talk about sharing power with youth and partnering with them to create a project that they're excited and passionate about. We also talk about how empowering it is to learn how to read data and how learning even basic research skills can open up doors of possibilities. Join us for an exciting conversation and stay tuned for part two where we talk with our Camper Board about their hopes and dreams for this research project.
