Call: The Youth for International Development seeks young media artists

Dear friends,



We are very excited to be sending you the promotional materials for a brand new programming initiative that we are introducing this summer in Saskatchewan in which you, or someone you know, might be interested.



The Youth for International Development – Do It Yourself (YID-DIY) project is designed to help youth who are interested in media, international issues, or both, learn to practice their writing and art skills to make their own creative media (comic books and zines) on global issues. Two three day trainings will be held. One for post-secondary ages 18-25 from August 18 to 20 and one for secondary students ages 13 to 17 from August 24 to 26. No experience is necessary. There will be follow-up after the trainings and the participants will be strongly encouraged to complete and publish their work.



Transportation to the site for ALL participants will be provided from Regina or Saskatoon. Limited travel subsidies are available to help participants get to Regina or Saskatoon.



The attached promotional brochures (in pdf and word) contain more information about the program as well as application forms for interested participants. Apply soon as the sessions are expected to fill up. Please pass on these brochures to anyone who may be interested. Please feel free to contact us for more information.



In creative, internationalist and youthful spirit,



Tracey, Ryan and Elizabeth
