Community Media Organizing Project
Last week, KFTC members and staff joined 5 other community and faith-based grassroots organizations from across the South for the 2011 Community Media Organizing Project annual training in Nashville, TN. This year's training focused on youth engagement and leadership development. Workshops ranged from language justice and creating multi-cultural spaces to online community mapping and video blogging. Skills were built around identifying and supporting spokespeople, tapping into social media outlets, creating your own media outlets, developing relationships with media contacts, and countless others. Participants even got to preview an upcoming short film on youth leadership and one young woman's story, Maria Full of Hope.
