Community volunteers along with UNO students and interns participated in the event. Bellevue, Creighton and College or St. Mary’s students were also part of the event. The project was an effort to sustain the urban forest along a trail that lost over 68 ash trees. People walk and bike along the trail and need shade. The trees will reduce heat islands as well as improve air quality. Sponsors and funders were the Arbor Day Foundation and the Hubbard Community Forestry Awards. Over 75 families, individuals and students from surrounding schools such as South High and PACE participated. Students, residents and the community at large learns about the importance of the urban forest. They work together to sustain and maintain the tree canopy either in their own neighborhood or park or other neighborhoods and parkland. They learn about the need for trees in barren areas, the infestation of the emerald ash borer on the city ash trees, reducing heat islands, improving air quality and the many benefits of trees. They learn about environmental justice. They also learn how to work together collaboratively to build their own environment which builds on pride of place. Together we leave a legacy of trees behind for ourselves and for future generations. | ||

Throughout the world, city leaders are recognizing the need for development of community spaces to improve the lives of young children and their families. Organizations such as Playful Planet https://www.playfulplanet.org.uk/ and Child in the City https://www.childinthecity.org/ are coordinating and supporting efforts of city planning that include children’s rights and well-being. Beginning in early 2020, a small group of Omaha leaders have begun to meet and plan to begin a project that will help create playful public spaces for children and residents. The leaders include Stephen Osberg, Director of Transportation Development of the Omaha Chamber of Commerce; Dr. Debora Wisneski, a UNO Associate Professor of Teacher Education; and Kate Knudsen, Facilitator of Metro-Omaha Raise Me to Read. (Metropolitan Omaha Education Consortium [MOEC] is the RMtR backbone). Other community partners who have committed to collaborate on the project are the Union of Contemporary Art, Amplify Arts, and Omaha By Design. Each partner or collaborator of the project will contribute their own expertise and funding for different aspects of the project. Drawing from the Urban Thinkscape project originating in Philadelphia, PA, the OUT project “brings the benefits of playful learning, which combines the enjoyable nature of play with a learning goal, to a community setting. Examples include puzzles at bus stops that stimulate spatial skills; movable parts on park benches that become opportunities for exploring language, color, and numbers while on-site signage and resources connect families to additional information and resources about the links between play and learning” (see http://urbanthinkscape.com/ and https://developingchild.harvard.edu/innovation-application/innovation-in-action/urban-thinkscape/) Goals for Omaha Urban Thinkspaces: • Create a playful sense of place in Omaha public spaces that showcases the art and culture of Omaha neighborhoods • Engage children and families with playful learning experiences will using public spaces • Increase the language and cognitive development of Omaha children and citizens Project Phases: PHASE 1: Design and Planning A.

Research Report Analysis and Publication Shari-Hersh.pdf (playfullearninglandscapes.com) http://www.raisemetoread.org" 2022 This is an UPDATE to our first report about Omaha Urban Thinkscapes, a community engagement/collective impact initiative working to build learning-rich spaces and places in underdeveloped communities in the metro. At the Learning Happens Everywhere webpage, there are embedded links to an introductory video, and a Campaign for Grade Level Reading presentation. Additionally, one can discover project goals, advisors, community engagement events, and related projects, books, and research. The Spring & Summer of 2022 found us in the community with family playdates held at the North and South Omaha Learning Community Centers, and an Advisors play date at UNO. We learned that families fully understand the importance of play and engagement with their children, and that they have definite ideas about features they would love to see at Thinkscapes. We worked with Maverick PR to create an introductory video about this project, and with a UNO Strategic Writing Class which created informational pieces and products for future use. We also worked with the Office of Research and Creativity to submit a National Endowment for the Humanities grant application to create Historical Markers at two Thinkscapes sites in North and South Omaha. The team secured additional partners/advisors including Matt Orand, Omaha Children's Museum; Silva Raker, Kiewit Luminarium; Adam Fletcher Sasse, Author and curator of North Omaha Website; Sara Vanek, Mulhall's Landscaping & Garden Center; Julie Dierberger & Olajide Cooper at UNO Service Learning Academy; Claire Brown, Child & Family Wellbeing Coordinator at The Well Being Partners; and Jade Rodgers from the House of Afro Capes and Curls. This effort was featured in the All-America City application (see that information in another submission) as it met one of the major strands of enriching non-school spaces with learning opportunities. | ||||

The students came up with innovative ideas to collect data from students that walk,roll, or bike to school. We know surveys are not preferred and there were some ideas that we would like to engage a future SLA class with. TWP will explore the idea of developing an app if an SLA class comes up and has the ability to do this. The idea came from the students themselves which would be a great app for the community. | |||

Students provided data analysis that The Wellbeing Partners would not have had access otherwise. Students were able to practice their data analysis skills and compiled relevant data that Pott county will use to assess their employees social determinants of health. This will allow the county to provide services and resources that are needed by their employees. | ||

Over the decades, the coalition experienced periods of variable activity and dormancy depending on the state's economy, organizational priorities, and the personalities and mindsets of library directors. Beginning in 2015, the collaborative effort reengaged, broadened its membership, changed its name, and implemented a formal MOU. More importantly, UNCL members utilized this unity to share resources and secure materials benefiting all members of the consortium. In this program, deans and a director from the new University of Nebraska Consortium of Libraries will share the development of UNCL, the issues and obstacles of a system-wide collaboration, the significant benefits of the organization, the verbal and monetary encouragement bestowed upon UNCL by the UN System President, and the consortium's future plans and possibilities.

Together brought in Nebraska Writers Collective to help with the poetry and story-telling aspect of the cookbook. UNO students collected and provided some of their own recipes for the cookbook and added poems and stories about recipes. Omaha South High School Art students provided the digital artwork for the cookbook. The cookbook was also translated into Spanish by World Speaks and is currently being formatted to send for printing. The Podcast project involved creating eight podcasts which were then combined to six episodes which will be shared with the Community. The podcasts involved interviews with community members on their perceptions of and importance of food. Students had the opportunity to interact with community members (via zoom) and build content that will be shared across the community. This project introduced the students to both micro and macro social work. Students engaged with community members identified by Together. They gathered information, and knowledge through individuals’ stories. The podcasts created which will be used to bring about awareness of the importance of food security.
