Hola amigos,<\/p>\n

Durhan College along with the Journalism \u2013 Mass Media program proposed a semester-long Faculty-led Classroom Abroad. The project was led with collaboration between the Journalism \u2013 Mass Media program and Students Offering Support (SOS), specifically Guate Groundswell youth mentors in Las Arrugas, Guatemala.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Students in the Journalism \u2013 Mass Media program hosted virtual workshops where they worked with Guatemalan students to learn and discover new modes of storytelling, specifically producing podcasts, videography, photography, animation, and\/or public relations campaigns. The students worked in small groups to identify a story theme related to the U.N.\u2019s Sustainable Development Goals for their selected storytelling medium.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There were a total of 5 groups that \u2018met\u2019 online once a week. Throughout these sessions, they continue experiencing cross-cultural exchange, while also improving the quality, direction, and design of the five storytelling mediums (podcasts, videography,\u00a0 photography, animation, and\/or public relations campaigns).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The workshops are reinforcing and transferring knowledge to the Guatemalan students, who are developing the skills to tell their own stories using readily available technology.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our communities continue working in the Sustainable Development Goals adopted by the UN Member States that outline a roadmap for sustainable development by 2030.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \u201cThe most amazing thing I have learned has been the creation and production of podcasts and animatics. Thanks to these projects, I had the opportunity to learn about storytelling and to use Power Director and Wave Editor in my tablet,\u201d Doris Jul.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
