Journalism as Social Change

Course Description:

​

As local and global communities experience moments of profound change, Journalism as Social Change aims to empower the youth to connect to the critical social issues around them. Through this program, you will get an opportunity to contribute to the social discourse around whichever issue is most important to you. You will get an opportunity to hone your problem-solving skills using art and original creation as your medium.

You will be contributing to a magazine issue to be released shortly after the end of the program. Contributors will be part of a magazine newsroom, and learn critical journalism skills while interacting with members of the Vancouver arts scene and the public alike. The course will develop interviewing, writing, and editing skills with a particular focus on original arts reporting, and becoming embedded in the social artistry movements identified by you.
