In this free course, youth ages 13-16 will learn creative expression through Puppetry. Starting with the social and cultural history of Puppetry and its roots in activism and protest, participants will then learn the various types of Puppetry used in various cultures around the world. Finally, participants will use this foundation to learn how to design, build, and perform their own socially conscious puppet creations.

Kidznotes catalyzes social change by providing comprehensive music education, leadership opportunities, and character-building experiences to children with the fewest resources and the greatest need.
Kidznotes is a music for social change program based on the El Sistema model of youth orchestras, which started in Venezuela and has now spread worldwide. Kidznotes creates equitable access to arts education by providing full scholarships and instruments to participating students. Positive youth development is our goal, music is our tool.
Kidznotes engages students in a rigorous out-of-school musical program through the Mozarts Program at select schools for grades 1-2 at the Nucleo located at Fayetteville St. Elementary School for grades 3-12. Classes include instrumental instruction, music theory, general music, and small and large ensembles.
The Community Engagement Division offers $500 mini-grants to support activities that boost awareness and outreach in underrepresented communities.
We encourage individuals and groups from underrepresented communities to apply. Eligible applicants include any resident or community group in the City of Durham, North Carolina, with at least two community contacts from different households.
Application Deadline: Wednesday, July 31, 2024, at 11:59 PM
