A major focus is developing a Global Black Studies curriculum that connects academic knowledge with lived experience and supports young people, educators and communities. Our approach is informed by the ICEPAR framework and Liberation Engagement, meaning that intersectionality, community participation, accountability, reflexivity and care are built into how we design and deliver our work.<\/span><\/p>\n Ultimately, BRIDGE exists to build the infrastructure needed for Black Studies to create lasting educational, community and global change.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”70px” emsmh=”30px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1790332978726{background-color: #6e7634 !important;}”][vc_column offset=”vc_hidden-lg vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][modo_service_box_four serv_four_img_one=”1920″ serv_four_icon_one=”ti-cup” serv_four_title_one=”Project \/ 01″ serv_four_des_one=”Nunc a egestas lacus.
