STUMP 2016
AN INNER CITY SOCIAL JUSTICE IMMERSION EXPERIENCE FOR YEAR 10 STUDENTS
Thirteen students in Year 10 have participated in an immersion program in the city of Sydney. This two day program is called STUMP (Short Term Urban Mission Project) and is run by the Salvation Army. The program runs out of Sydney Streetlevel Mission which is a community centre based in Surry Hills. Streetlevel seeks to be a place of community and belonging for people within the inner city of Sydney, a safe place for the lonely to find ‘home’. Streetlevel values a holistic approach to social and personal development, by caring for the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of marginalised people in the inner city community.An inner city Social Justice Immersion experience for Year 10 students
After students participated in workshops on Boundaries and Homelessness they volunteered at Streetlevel in a number of ways which gave them the opportunity to walk alongside community members. The experience was a profound one that instilled in our group an understanding and respect for the marginalised as well as the opportunity to express care and friendship.
