Help bring DFS to the AMC
Allied Media Conference

The state of crisis in Detroit’s education system is well-known. Yet the work for transformative education within classrooms all over the city, despite the many levels of systemic failure, remains largely invisible.

Detroit Future Schools (DFS) is making that work stronger and more visible by weaving a network of teachers and digital media artists who are committed to reinventing the purpose and practice of education in Detroit.  In DFS classrooms, education is a process that prepares youth and adults to envision and actualize a more just, creative, and collaborative world.

You can support this growing network by making a donation to the first-ever Detroit Future Schools Network Gathering, taking place Thursday, June 20th in conjunction with the 2013 Allied Media Conference.

Announcing the Delegations at the 15th Annual Allied Media Conference
Allied Media Conference

We’re excited to announce the nine official AMC 2013 Delegations! Delegations are groups who collectively fundraise for, travel to, and reflect on the Allied Media Conference together. Organizing a delegation is a way to make your AMC experience more awesome, while also helping to make the AMC more accessible to your community. Look for the participants from these delegations as they volunteer, lead sessions, document, and generally rep their communities throughout the AMC weekend. Post-AMC season we will share their reflections on our blog.
