Media Literacy Workshops at the Park Slope Y

There's a free series of "Media Literacy Workshops" coming up in October and November at the Park Slope Y on Ninth Street. They're sponsored by the Learning About Multimedia Project (The LAMP). There are three different workshops.

Workshop 1 takes place on Saturday, October 6 from 9AM-12 Noon and will offer family members the opportunity to interview each other camera and edit the video, producing a DVD they can take home. Workshop 2 is about making a commercial or PSA. It is being offered on Tuesday Oct. 9, 16 and 23 from 4PM-6PM and is aimed at children at least ten years old through teenagers. Workshop 3 is about "Making an Un-Commercial" and will feature the deconstruction of some TV ads. It will be offered on Tuesday Nov. 13, 20 and 27 from 4PM-6PM. It's also intended for children age 10 through teens. For the full schedule from Community Board 6, you can click here.
