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+!
