For young people to reach their full academic and artistic potential, they need the support of their teachers and adult mentors. Many adults, however, struggle to make their classes and programs relevant to the changing culture and needs of today’s youth. In order to bridge this educational-generational gap, OMAI/Youth Speaks Wisconsin is teaming up with Urban Word NYC to offer the 3nd Annual Spoken Word & Hip Hop Educator’s Institute at UW-Madison July 7-11, 2008.

University & CEU credit options available for interested individuals.
