Overview
"In this applied theater project and qualitative study, puppetry artist and community arts practitioner, Brenda Huggins, investigates the benefits and challenges of engaging youth in puppetry and climate action in partnership with middle school age students in the Greater Boston area of Massachusetts. Findings include the capacity for creative thought and multidisciplinary hands-on learning to promote heightened engagement and focus, experimentation and the freedom to make mistakes during puppet making processes is connected with deep learning, and puppetry makes abstract topics like climate action more tangible and visceral for holistic understanding." -- Abstract
