Global Stewardship Program at Capilano University. Info session is this Wednesday, November 30th at 7 pm in Cedar Building, Room 120.

Who is this for?

Do you want to become a teacher, human rights lawyer, sustainable business owner, international aid worker, film maker, geographer, nurse with Doctors Without Borders, lobbyist, diplomat, fundraiser, social worker, urban planner, and not-for-profit manager, just to name a few exciting careers?

That’s what the 300 or so alumni of the Global Stewardship Program. Their website is HERE.  They are working to make change around the world, across Canada, and in our own communities.

But what they all have in common is a desire – forged in their high school experience – to not just make a living, but a life.

If so, come to an information meeting Wednesday, November 30th at 7pm.

The Adventures in Film Camp is part of the Powell River Film Festival specifically designed for young filmmakers. During the day, participants learn from pro media artists, attend interesting seminars by established directors, filmmakers and media experts, gain hands-on, practical experience making videos or animation, and have the opportunity to collaborate with and be inspired by other young filmmakers. In the evenings, participants have the opportunity to enjoy and analyze the Festival films, and socialize with media-savvy Festival attendees and industry people at the receptions.

Participants leave the camp with the full experience of video production, including teamwork and troubleshooting, have a short film for their demo reel, and friendships that may well develop into further film making collaborations. The camp is fast-paced and fun, and our past participants have been thrilled with the outcome!

Please see Ms. Falsetto asap if you are interested.
