Participating in the Social Justice Repair Kit project was an incredibly rewarding experience. The project showed concretely how much impact we can have on youth in various countries and contexts when we give agency to community groups who are close to and working with youth.

The ingenuity of the project teams resulted in so many different ideas and implementations - things that worked for particular groups and inspired new ideas for other groups.

Just like in a collaborative surprise drawing, we combined our ideas in ways we didn’t plan and the results were unexpected.

Two drawings of fantastical creatures made collaboratively by the project team.

Creatures drawn by the project team without knowing what the whole would look like.

When we look at all the work we’ve done for our project, we see the similarities and differences and how the combination of pieces has created a greater whole.
