One little person, giving all of her time to peace, makes news. Many people, giving some of their time, can make history. – Peace Pilgrim
This class aims to encourage our community to use their media knowledges and skills to practically address social issues in creative ways. It is an activity-led course- with participants undertaking a series of tasks and challenges alongside the weekly workshops. Whether it be through raising awareness, creating interventions, or through participating in campaigns, collaborative projects and initiatives this class will situate you right in the heart of an issue that is important to you. Enabling you to consider a number of ways through which you can inform and participate in social and cultural change through grass roots creative activism.
While undertaking this work we will be exploring the ways in which media, digital media and arts activists have attempted to tackle local, national and global issues while addressing their practical and theoretical possibilities and limitations.
