Talking & Making: Friendtorship

The Portland State mentors’ blog for the course: Design & Social Change. Friendtorship is a program that brings together Portland State art and design students and high school students from Centennial Park High Schoool to collaborate on creative projects. Led by PSU Professor Lis Charman and CPS teacher Conrad Schumacher, the program nurtures positive and productive relationships, build self-confidence, and empowers high school students and university students alike through action-based social art and design projects. This blog is where we share and work through our approach, ideas and projects.
