About Me in Media
Me in Media (MiM) was produced in partnership between the United Nations Association of Canada and Schema Magazine, as part of the UNA's national Multimedia & Multiculturalism (M&M) project.
MiM aimed to inspire dialogue around the inclusion of ethnic and cultural diversity in the multimedia landscape, encouraging youth to be active participants in reflecting their own identity and stories through media.
During September 2011, 20 youth ages 14-18 participated in three days of media literacy and media production workshops that explored in great detail how media fosters a sense of inclusion in Canada.
The workshops produced ideas video, photography and writing that will be showcased here.
