Youth visioning was a major aspect of Flagstaff 2020. Julianne Hartzell, assisted by Project Coordinator Kathy Turner, reached out to local elementary and high schools within Flagstaff Unified School District (FUSD) to better represent the perspectives of future generations of Flagstaff.
In the clip below, Julianne Hartzell recalls some of the more striking ideas proposed by young people during Flagstaff 2020. Watch Hartzell’s entire oral history interview via Digital Collections.
Younger students were encouraged to create school projects depicting what they wanted Flagstaff to look like in the year 2020. Older students were interviewed to get their feedback, in a manner similar to the feedback solicited at community meetings held around Flagstaff.
Students presented their ideas and school projects at VisionFest. In the clip below, Morgan Frazier and Katie Phelps from DeMiguel Elementary School present their project on parks in Flagstaff.
