The first step in providing equitable access to learning opportunitie s is actually getting access to the opportunity providers. Youth face a nu mber of barriers to physically moving in and around learning institutions. While digital media can provide an avenue for engagement that transcends physical presence\, often the most impactful relationships stem from build ing face-to-face relationships. This session invites participants to learn about existing work being done throughout the Chicago Hive Learning Netwo rk and then problem-solve solutions for transportation and access issues t hat they might face in their own cities or regions.
\nDuring this se ssion\, participants will explore how organizations in Chicago’s Hive Lear ning Network have come together to address the citywide challenges facing youth that don’t drive\, have limited financial resources\, and have to na vigate through unfamiliar neighborhoods to get to out-of-school-time progr ams. Although Chicago has a vibrant public transportation network with the potential to encourage equitable access to program opportunities\, teens are limited by a lack of accessible transit\, complex transit systems\, an d an infrastructure that – by design – is often set up to make them feel u ncomfortable. Individual program providers have implemented ways to help r educe transportation barriers for youth\, but realize that these quick fix es fail to address underlying issues of access and disinvestment in neighb orhoods\, resulting in limited impact.
\nSession participants will h ear a brief overview of current activities intended to increase awareness of the problems and identified potential actionable solutions. Current net work-level activities are focused on documentation and include a data visu alization for seeing how youth are traveling around the city\, a youth-led audio project to document youth stories as they take public transportatio n\, and curating organization solutions and resources. Potential solutions for action range from building infrastructure for encouraging more biking to coordinating free youth-only buses around the city.
\nAfter this brief 15-minute overview\, participants will come together to share chall enges they might face in their own learning ecosystems and brainstorm new solutions. Participants will then workshop potential new solutions in brea kout groups. As a group\, we will ideate around potential solutions to add ressing systemic issues and best practices for change. Potential solutions may include creating a document for best practices when using public tran sportation\, designing mobile solutions\, building a system to facilitate shared rides or coordinated use of public transportation\, or prototyping ways to activate young people to advocate for changes within their communi ties.
\nSession organizers will document the solutions generated by breakout groups digitally for moving the work forward after the conference . Participants will be invited to continue ideating around the issue of eq uitable access by engaging with organizers through existing collaborative documents and blogs.
