Join us for our inaugural twelve day workshop in the informal settlement of Wallacedene

A Cross Cultural Collaboration
This is a fantastic opportunity to build relationships with the youth of Capetown, while
learning from and with them. From basic digital image capture to advanced techniques
for managing digital work flow whatever their skill level, participants will be
challenged to take their work to the next level. Our creative collaboration with the
students will culminate in a presentation/exhibit at the Hector Peterson School where our
students have been working with Bridges mentors for months in preparation for this
workshop.
Bring Your Family
Our workshop is designed for families with youth from 10 to 18. This is a unique
opportunity for teen-agers to meet and work with their South African counterparts. As the
most technically adept members of our workshop, the teens will play a key role in
helping with the technical aspects of digital storytelling. Some of the South African
students will have visited Seattle, WA for a cross cultural exchange, so they will look
forward to meeting teens from the US during this workshop.
