About the ProjectSubmitted by Robin on Tue, 2009-09-08 20:25.
The Digital Literacy Project (DLP) is an initiative of the Atwater Library and Computer Centre, which encourages youth and community groups to discover new and creative ways to use digital technologies in order to discuss issues important to them, develop skills, and build community. (By the way, you can help us!) The DLP encourages community interaction and collaboration, in order to promote dialogue about learning, knowledge creation and culture, through the creative media arts:
By encouraging participants to explore digital literacy with their own voice and contribute to the creation of new knowledge, the DLP aims to foster a sense of responsibility in creating and consuming media, approaching learning through experience and community involvement. We encourage our facilitators to create accessible and inclusive spaces to build a strong, sustainable and cohesive community through cultural, educational and social programs that bring together Montreal’s diverse population. The Digital Literacy Project is a volunteer-supported initiative, and develops its projects with respect to the needs and interests of its partner groups, including schools, youth groups, and community organizations. The project is geared to the needs of the Anglophone community in the downtown core and the areas surrounding the Atwater Library, including St. Henri, Little Burgundy, Point Ste-Charles, Ville-Marie, and NDG. Opportunities to expand and create partnerships outside these areas are valued and sought out when possible. Check out the short promotional video made |
