DIGITAL INTERACTIVE ACTIVISM
Interactive Skill-Share
Open Youth Networks and YAOTL

Saturday June 21st, Chicago’s Columbia College Film Row

3:00-4:00 PM

Youth environmental activists from YAOTL and Open Youth Networks will demonstrate how they are using new digital media networks and DIY participatory culture tools (blogs, googlemaps and social networking) to build awareness. The youth will screen their video, THE CLOUD FACTORY, a video funded by Adobe Youth Voices and Listen Up as part of the international TV series BEYOND GREEN. They will also share their Environmental Justice multimedia map — an online community map that documents the assets and toxics of Little Village through youth-produced photos, videos and stories. The audience will then contribute their own digital content to the map as collaborators with quick demonstrations in Flickr, wordpress, googlemaps and who knows what else. This highly energized and hands-on skill share session shows how the model of commons-based peer production can infuse new possibilities into the field of youth media.Learn more about their work, their videos and how to add to the MyMap at the YAOTL blog www.elcilantro.org
