Description:
The Youth Voices Project aims to empower youth in underserved communities through artistic creations including digital art, photo journalism, animations, and multimedia projects.
Workshops will take place in Argentina, Brazil, Canada, China, Egypt, Kenya, Mali, Russia, South Africa and Sweden. Youth at the workshops will discuss and create images relating to the themes of Culture and Identity, and Climate Change.
The images produced will form two Global Gallery collections, and two TIG magazine publications.
As well as being presented at conferences, beginning with the World Youth Congress 2008 in Quebec City.
Background:
With support from Adobe, TakingITGlobal will hold two youth media arts competitions, and although targeting specifically underserved youth in 10 countries it will have an online contest component that will be worldwide.
Objectives:
The two themes of this workshop will be:
1. Climate Change: Its Impact on Our Communities and Our Strategies for Sustainable Living
2. My Culture, Your Culture: Understanding Conflict and Fostering Unity across Cultures
In each of the workshops youth will create images to be submitted to the two contests. Winners will be selected from each category.
