Curriculum Overview
Over five weeks, we will explore what goes into creating a mural. Each week your cohort will access videos of SPARKLE members talking about different facets of muralism, in which we share personal experiences and reference those who’ve taught us – offering external links for those who want to dive deeper. We offer reflection questions at the end of each video and facilitate a weekly 1.5 hour virtual discussion for your group to explore the content together. The flow of the curriculum is as follows:
