Public Hearing

On our first episode of Public Hearing, we spoke with Jennifer Davis Carey, Executive Director of the Worcester Education Collaborative, about the landscape of public education and how it serves (or doesn’t serve) the needs of young people and their families here in the U.S. We also hear from Savonne Pickett, a Worcester-based artist who participated in the Black Lives Matter street mural. Savonne talks to Josh about her experiences with Public Education, Art, and how important it is to have mentors who care.

Public Hearing listens to voices impacted by systems like public education and juvenile justice and talks to people using community-centered design to fix them. From getting families internet access to keeping kids out of prison, we’re imagining ways to build inclusive, equitable, and prosperous communities. 

Hosted by Joshua Croke, founder of Action! by Design. Action! by Design supports community design and innovation from citizen to city.
