Premised on the philosophy that schools, parents, youth and the community must work together to create media-literate children, who practice the skills of digital citizenship, our programs build an understanding of the role media plays in today’s society. Our staff teaches youth about multimedia communication through action and motion. This reinforces a variety of 21st century skills including critical thinking, interpersonal communication, collaboration, self-regulation, and group decision-making. Our program goals are to build culturally-competent, digital citizens who will be proficient communicators and form positive relationships with peers throughout their lives.
