World Savvy’s Global Youth Media and Arts Program: Immigration + Identity

Information Session
Tuesday November 27, 6-8pm
4 Times Square, Room 38-400 New York, NY 10036

Are you a school or after-school educator? Do you want to participate in a free innovative art and media program focused on global issues? Come learn about the Global Youth Media and Arts Program!

The Global Youth Media and Arts Program (MAP) is an arts education program for youth ages 12-18 in New York and San Francisco. With the MAP, youth use their own lives and communities as a platform to examine global themes such as Immigration and Identity. Each year World Savvy selects up to 15 school and after-school arts-educators to participate. We then provide professional development workshops and resources for teachers; classes and artist-led fieldtrips for youth; and coordinate a culminating exhibition and Festival. The 2008 Festival will be held at The LaGuardia Performing Arts Center and include a professional art exhibition, film screenings and performance.

Participant Educators Receive:
A Curriculum Guide containing lesson plans, classroom tools, & arts resources
Professional Development Institute: World Savvy provides tools, training and curriculum to address the global theme with students
One-on-one consultations with World Savvy for curriculum planning and research
Ongoing support in developing and implementing global curriculum during the MAP
2 Creative customized Workshops that focus on the global theme & global fieldtrips to NY arts institutions and communities
The Global Youth Media and Arts Festival—a professional public exhibition and performance showcase for all!
