For 2024, ASDE received a grant that is in line with our values and will bring more tangible resources to the SDE community. In that respect, we have a small budget to pay BIPOC Tipping Points creators and any youth content creators (22 or younger) for original content.
Below are some general examples of the kind of content we publish:
- Stories (text, audio, video, images) of your personal experiences with Self-Directed Education that give people a window into what it looks like and how it works in your life.
- Insights into how your work intersects with SDE (without being self-promotional).
- Research-based / academic research that address child development, education policy, etc., through a surveying of relevant research.
- Editorial style commentary that highlights the importance and relevance of Self-Directed Education in our world today
- Excerpts from a book you wrote, with permission from the publisher, if needed.
- SDE Fiction: Any stories, plays, scripts, comics, etc. that have self-directed characters, are about youth liberation, and/or youth rights advocacy.
- Art – poetry, drawings, paintings, etc. of work related to SDE or youth liberation.
- Excerpts or full episode of your podcast or video creations.
