Youth Program!
I would like to announce that I will be working with the Teen Leadership Seminar at Mishkan Shalom, the teens there will have the opportunity to create video, audio and more while studying and thinking about community in a jewish context.
Description of the Re-Mapping Our (his)Stories Program:
If you were given the chance to tell your own story, what would you say? How would you show people who you, your family and your community are?
Do you see representations of yourself in the media already? Do they portray what you and your life is really like?
As a part of the "Re-Mapping Our (his)Stories" project, you will learn the skills and be able to create your own (his)story in the form of audio tracks, zines, still pictures and even video. The finished product will become part of an archive, or collection, where people all over the world can share their own story and hear and learn from everyone else's.
Additionally! I am inviting ANY groups who want to be part of this project to contact me so that we can work together on creating a way that everyone can contribute to the creation of this collaborative, multi-media, multi-community (his)Story.

Beginning the Curriculum
10 Lessons
2 or 3 Hours each
Media Production is integrated with each lesson
This curriculum is being created in order to be implemented as part of the Re-Mapping Our (his)Stories Project. The curriculum is a crash course in media production and media literacy that uses community histories as a tool for creativity and content. Ultimately, those who participate in this curriculum will gain the skills to create a media history as well as the tools to analyze their positions in the world and ideally this will serve as a space to allow youth to empower themselves through their place within (his)story.
