ID: The Holland Project

Interdisciplinary: The Holland Project - Art. Music. Culture. By Young People, For Young People.

Course Description: This semester we will be working with the Holland Project, a local youth-centered arts non-profit, on a variety of projects involving local music, arts, activism, and education. The Holland Project is a space ran by young people like you - artists, musicians, activists, students - for young people. The class will focus on making our school a place where young people from all over town want to come so they can see or play music, create or view art, lead or partake in a workshop or class, learn new skills, host a gathering, discuss an event, a cause, a movement - a place for you created by you and your peers. Students in this class will be in charge of deciding what kinds of events they would like to organize and carry through with implementation. We will be learning about the need for youth-centered arts and music-based community projects both here in Reno, NV and elsewhere. We will take an active role in the operation of The Holland Project. We will be collaborating with diverse community members who have been active volunteers with Holland on a variety of projects and we will help the community at large develop an appreciation for a youth-run community space where you and your peers can gather and congregate for a wide variety of events, causes, movements, etc.
