Girl Scouts: Digital Movie Maker
Starting in Spring 2015, The Engage Media Lab partnered with the Girl Scouts of Greater New York to help girls from across the five boroughs earn their Digital Movie Maker Badges. In this month-long program, EML trains and orients New School students to become media teachers capable of educating others in all aspects of digital video production. This program is scheduled to run again in March 2016. Updated dates and times will be released in December. Anyone interested in participating should contact eml@newschool.edu or colin@newschool.edu

Past [MAD]shops
Designing Community Engaged Media Projects
Get inspired and learn how to design your own community-engaged media project! Listen to the experiences of transformative media makers in this hands-on workshop.
Audiovisual Narrative
Learn storytelling essentials, including basic photography and audio recording. In this workshop, we will lay the foundations for documenting and producing participatory media, as well as journalistic projects such as photo essays and podcasts.
Video Production & Post-Production Basics
This workshop will cover the basics of video production and post-production, including DSLR camera operation, audio recording for video, and editing techniques. We will also go over other aspects to consider when working on collaborative storytelling projects.
Reflecting on Outcomes & Packaging/Distributing Media
What happens after you finish your community-engaged media project? In the first half of this workshop, we will put into practice some reflective activities. In the second half, we will focus on packaging and distributing media: using online platforms to showcase projects and setting the atmosphere for social transformation to occur.
