Our Create to Learn initiative works with Connected North
schools to build digital media production skills and creative
confidence, connecting students to Indigenous media makers
as trainer-mentors and providing digital literacy equipment to
schools.
In partnership with ImagineNATIVE, we have launched Create to Learn@Home. Over the past month, we have contracted
40 First Nations, Métis, and Inuit artists and media makers to develop over 100 instructional videos on a variety of
soware tools and creative processes. Students are able to access this content across our social media platforms for
students to follow along at their own pace to build their own creative skills. These creators have also shared the videos
to their own networks of followers, which number over 44,000+!
