Project Media: Holistic Learning Subscribe

Four motivated mothers addressed the needs of marginalized youth to create Project Media. Media creation, nutrition and physical activity were just some of the topics covered throughout this powerful learning adventure!

Teaching media creation is a great way to encourage young voices to shine. Project Media took it a step further and hired a group of young people to learn both media production and practical skills for everyday living.

Four motivated mothers, fed up with a lack of accessible arts programming, put together Project Media, aimed at young people facing barriers to employment and education. The results were a powerful learning process.

Six participants embarked in a 20 week program designed to develop employability and life skills such as team building, critical thinking and organization.
