This Friday: We Made This! Media for a New Generation Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 2008-10-21 19:00. This Friday the DLP will be participating in a panel on youth media organized by CitizenShift. Details: Open to the general public. Free Entry. Time: Friday, October 24, 7:00pm-9:00pm. (doors open at 6:30pm). Location: NFB Theatre (directions) 1564, Rue Saint-Denis Montreal, CITIZENShift invites you to a ‘show and tell’ of selected creative media project featuring youth voices. Thisexciting event, taking place during CBC’s Montreal Matters will bring together workshop facilitators and participants to share and compare their works and experiences. What is the key to success? Join us to find out. Why Now? Throughout CITIZENShift’s online presence, several media workshop facilitators – both noive and experienced - have invited us to collaborate with them. During our exchanges, we have noticed how diversified the approaches have been in conducting these workshops, and have witnessed some of the unforeseen issues that can arise when working with different youth demographics. We have grown increasingly fascinated with how the workshops have been designed; the different approaches to teaching media skills; how the participants have been recruited and how these differences are reflected in thevideos produced. As the theme for CBC’s Montreal Matters this year is youth, this is the perfect opportunity to unite our youth-media workshop collaborators for an ‘exposé’ of experiences.
