Request for Assistance: Youth Media Survey

Hello fellow youth media facilitators-

The YouthLearn Initiative and the Educational Video Center request your help in developing a learning network of educators who have worked on (or would like to work on) media projects with young people. We have developed a survey to determine your past experiences with leading media projects with young people, as well as things you'd like to learn or gain.

The survey is at: http://surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=668231175431

Typically, "youth media projects" refer to activities that engage a group of young people in the production of a media work that can take many forms (audio, video, digital art, web, etc.). These projects often provide young people with a new perspective on their learning, the community they live in and the broader media culture.

The information from this survey will be used to develop a learning network for educators that will provide rich resources, curriculum and professional development opportunities for teachers and youth media educators around the country. So, if you are interested in youth media (even just a little bit!), we'd love to hear from you.

The survey should take about take ten minutes to complete. We will keep you updated on the findings. If you have any questions, you may contact my colleague, Haejung, at: hchung@edc.org.

Please feel free to distribute to others. We thank you in advance for your time and effort.

Sincerely,

YouthLearn at EDC
