We are incredibly excited to share the first of many videos created in the popular education workshops we are running in Juanacatlán and Guadalajara. Karen, Lety, and Cristian live in and around Juanacatlán, and are students at the local high school. Their video is moving and they worked very hard to piece it together. We are so proud! Please ost the video and share it; they made the video to make positive change for their communities and we want to help spread the word.
We are really excited to share this short video about the process and participants of our video workshops. Consider this a trailer for the videos they created which we should be posting soon! As always, we look forward to feedback and questions. We plan to publish our video workshop methodology, which is popular education based, once it is more refined.
In the spirit of community and communication, we made an introduction video for Steve to meet IMDEC. Let me just say, we had a lot of fun with it. We have been playing around with our Flip Cameras and iMovie to prepare for our workshops in Juanacátlan, so we made the video with those tools. Tomorrow we have our second video workshop with a group of high schoolers and we look forward to seeing the footage they have taken and introducing storytelling and editing techniques. We are designing the workshop to be popular education based, and look forward to its co-evolution with the participation of our students.
The past few weeks were busy ones indeed. Between reworking our website, coordinating volunteers, preparing for the photo exposition, starting our video workshops, and helping out at IMDEC’s environmental fairs, we have been going going going. After launching the photo exposition in the newly formed El Salto Cultural House on Friday night, we helped IMDEC take it on tour in La Huizachera and Sierra del Tigre. IMDEC works with both of these communities, and runs popular environmental education programs with children.
