www.HonceOui.com Generation Citizen. This was made from a 10 minute on-camera interview. She was tentative at first but had fun in the end. This was part of the TUGG series of videos.

Here is an overview of this video:
Generation Citizen teaches teenagers direct political action. Through an innovative in-class curriculum, students work with local leaders to fix local problems.
Over the course of the twice-weekly semester-long in-class program, students choose an issue they want to tackle in their own community, develop a focused, strategic plan to address an issue they care about, and then take real action on it. Students lobby elected officials, write opinion pieces for newspapers, and make documentaries to advance solutions to important community issues. Through direct engagement in real-world advocacy, guided by near-peer college Democracy Coaches and teachers, students gain the civic knowledge, skills, and motivation necessary to effect change in their communities.

Each semester culminates in Civics Day, in which student representatives from classes in each city present their work to other students, community members, and public officials, celebrating their work and gaining feedback to further their efforts. Civics Day is therefore a chance for students to celebrate their success and explore ways to continue their civic engagement after the end of the program.

TUGG was partly responsible for the success of Generation Citizen.
