[hr-education-na] Youth Views Institute Call for Applications

Dear friends,

It's that time of year again! We are soliciting applications for the 3rd
Annual Youth Views Institute.

The Youth Views Institute will bring together 20 young community leaders,
ages 16-20, from New York City and around the country to offer training in
how to integrate independent documentaries with their community work using
independent documentary, and create a rare chance to network with other
young people working in their communities. The Youth Views Institute is
based on the premise of non-fiction storytelling as a tool for creating
positive social change. It focuses on emerging and young leaders who are
involved with community issues, and will feature documentary screenings as
well as workshops on critical thinking and media literacy skills
pertaining to independent and commercial media; diversity training; and
community organizing, including crafting a vision for working with media,
outreach methods and event planning and promotion. Presenters will include
independent filmmakers, community organizers, P.O.V. staff and members of
the Youth Views Advisory Board. This year's Institute will be held at
Project Reach in New York City, New York.

Applications, a fact sheet and feedback from past participants is
available at http://www.pbs.org/pov/utils/youthviews.html

We invite young people from your communities to apply. Please note that
the deadline is September 15th, 2004.
