Abstract
Minnesota has been struggling to find a solution which places both students of color and white students at the same level of success in their schooling. Empowering students to communicate their concerns and therefore invest in the quality of their own schooling is key. This can be accomplished through a proposed curriculum which combines Wayang or Indonesian shadow plays, the power of symbol, and citizen professionalism. Students learn how Indonesians have used symbol in their plays to communicate social concerns and through citizen professionalism create a play of their own. The process gives students the opportunity to build community amongst themselves with the ultimate goal of addressing social concerns in a way that leads to solutions-based discussion.
