Power and Place

In partnership with the Power and Place Collaborative and Burlington Summer Youth Camps, Elon Master of Education students connected over 200 Burlington youth through design thinking workshops on the power of sharing stories and connecting to our communities.

The Power and Place Collaborative's second collection of digital stories documenting the lives of Alamance County's Black community premiered Dec. 4 and are available at its website and through the African American Cultural Arts and History Center.

The Power and Place Collaborative is a partnership between Elon University, Burlington's Mayco Bigelow Center, and the African American Cultural Arts and History Center. Students interviewed community members and edited their oral histories into short videos.
