ABOUT
We will host 4 workshops serving youth aged 13- 17 in our communities, with an emphasis on under-served indigenous, Black and LatinX youth, and those students who are less likely to thrive in standardized educational settings. We will provide a safe, supportive environment for participants to learn the craft of media production, creating their own music videos or storytelling pieces, supported by individualized mentorship from local professional guest artists.
IN OUR WORKSHOPS
-
Youth will have gained experience, skills, and had fun engaging with their creative expression, and found a potential new healthy outlet to continue to explore.
-
Youth have shared their voice and received positive reflections, in a safe, healthy community setting, to help them feel more connected, with a greater sense of belonging, as a valuable member of the community.
-
Youth have an opportunity to connect with indigenous elders and/or culture-bearers, in an engaging and relatable way, with the potential for newfound awareness and practice in connection to the land.
-
Youth have received inspiration and encouragement from the experience of working alongside local professional artists / mentors.
