SXSW Panel Picker 2023 Is Open To Vote: Designing Innovative Multimedia Programs for K-12

"Designing Innovative Multimedia Programs for K-12" PanelPicker® community voting is now open through Sunday, August 21.

With Colectivo Piloto, we have been advancing community participation and youth entrepreneurship through filmmaking since 2004. It is for this reason that we are proposing a talk at SXSW EDU 2023 called "Designing Innovative Multimedia Programs for K-12" to introduce the implementation of multimedia initiatives to foster students' entrepreneurial mindset through inclusive filmmaking practices. You can now vote for our PanelPicker idea through Sunday, August 21.

This talk will explain how to achieve effective results through successful examples such as an after school program at the Museum of the Moving Image, NYC, where students aimed to create stop motion films inspired by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and a summer media camp where students learned the craft of documentary filmmaking by exploring the concepts of cultural identity and diversity. 

The talk will also explain how to use sensorial activities to provide different levels of engagement and options for perception and language for students with cognitive, emotional and sensory disabilities.

This talk is addressed to teaching artists, art teachers, K-12 teachers, museum educators and all levels of professionals working in Education and Storytelling Initiatives in museums, community centers, youth and cultural centers, after school programs and summer camps.

From this talk participants will take away: 

First, how to use multimedia resources to encourage students' independence in exercising a critical point of view.

Second, how to design a program to empower kids' voices and inspire their advocacy for social change.

And third, how to implement ethical and inclusive film-making practices to improve students' language and contribute to their social/emotional development.

You can make this talk possible at SXSW EDU 2023 by voting for our PanelPicker idea through Sunday, August 21.
