Shilpa Sayura Foundation revamped
the curriculum for their multimedia
programming on Digital Photography,
Graphic Design, Animation and Video
Production in response to the COVID
19 pandemic. To best support the
young creatives with virtual learning,
the participants were divided into the
groups based on their age, digital skill
level, and subject interests.
The goal of this virtual program was
to support young creatives with
resources and digital media skills that
will allow them to create media pieces
about social issues that are personally
important to them.
The young creatives connected online
once a week for 60 to 90 minute
interactive lessons on the medium and
skill of their choice. These sessions
provided participants with resources
on technical skills and concepts that
supported participants in practicing
what they learned on their own time.
The participants also received one-
on-one feedback on their work
from mentors. Furthermore, special
workshops and mentoring sessions
on specific topics were scheduled on
a by-request basis.
