Creating Community Aware

 

Creating the Community Aware (CCA) is a program that enhances local history education and video production. This project empowers students to discover and document their local history through creative writing and documentary filmmaking. To date, CCA has educated more than 680 students. The diversity of this project provides a platform for understanding local architecture, documenting oral histories, conducting local interviews with historical persons, community members and peers. This discovery takes learning from within the classroom into the surrounding multi-cultural communities.
