This June, EVC launched a pilot project–”We Are All Connected”—in partnership with the Parent Resource Center of Duff, TN with generous support from Mozilla Hive NYC Fund. The project began with a one week collaborative digital media summer camp in Tennessee as an effort to bridge the rural/urban divide and the digital divide.
Students will be be exploring two separate topics of urgent concern to both urban and rural youth: the impact of opioid addiction on their communities, and access to broadband internet. They will collaborate remotely throughout the fall semester, researching, editing footage, and conducting interviews. All will reunite at the end of December to launch their website and screen their film in New York City.
