Irvington Theater Announces Virtual Class For Teens To Create 'Videos For Change'
Students will create, edit, and promote a one-minute film about a social justice issue.
After enormous success over the summer, Irvington Theater will host its second virtual film class: Videos for Change. Over the course of four weeks, students will work both independently and virtually with a teacher to research and craft a key message and storyboard - then create, edit, and promote a one-minute film about a social justice issue that they care about. Each four-week session culminates in a virtual festival of student films!
"The program helped me explore and talk about important issues by making me think harder about the problems in the world, and how I, as a student, can help fix them," says 13-year-old Frieda Belasco, one of this summer's Video for Change participants. "I was really able to bring my idea to life." Launched by the internationally-acclaimed nonprofit High Resolves, Videos for Change gives young people the opportunity to make one-minute videos on issues that they care about. It helps them build social advocacy skills and gives them a global platform to amplify their message. High Resolves is an award-winning leader in the design and delivery of immersive citizenship education experiences.Love Theater in Central New York? Join The Community!
