Vin jwenn nou sou entènèt pou Speak Up, yon pwogram ekriti kreyatif k ap sipòte devlopman atistik ak pwofesyonèl adolesan yo….

Nan yon mini-seri atelye ekriti kreyatif vityèl, adolesan yo pral fè ekip ak atis-edikatè ki gen eksperyans pou ranfòse pwosesis ekriti kreyatif la, soti nan redaksyon rive nan pèfòmans ak piblikasyon, pou ogmante alfabetizasyon epi bay jèn yo nan Miami plis fòs atravè aktivite ekriti ki baze nan kominote a.

Pwogram nan ouvè pou tout adolesan (ki gen laj 13-19 an) epi li gratis menm jan li pa gen devwa. Pa bezwen okenn eksperyans anvan!
