Building upon the success of our highly successful
youth-at-risk training program, SAW Video will
take video to the people of Ottawa and beyond.
From rural communities to women from immigrant and
refugee communities to at-risk urban youth, this
project offers community organizers and
organizations the expertise and equipment to
implement video workshops to activate and empower
their communities. Through this program, three
video workshop models have been designed to
accommodate different needs and approaches. After
an initial training and content development phase,
instructors will work with diverse communities on
video projects tailored to their needs.
