As a part of the 7th annual Media That Matters Film Festival, youth media professional are invited to an exciting opportunity to bring education, film and activism together and discuss how to effectively use media for social change. Be a significant participant in the workshop by gaining and providing insight and methods on how media can be used to introduce debates and discussions on important issues, but also as a starting point from which to take action.
The format will be round-table discussions where each group will get to explore themes set by Arts Engine. You will be asked to contribute your experiences and practical methods in using media for social change in your field and within your organization. You are encouraged to bring materials to support the discussions. Audio, visual or other materials are welcomed. If you are able to participate, please RSVP and you will receive an email in the coming weeks in regards to details and information/link on this year’s Media That Matters films.
