“Celebrate Friends School Student Filmmaking Through Service Learning"
Time: November 16, 2009 from 8:30am to 3pmLocation: Friends Center, Philadelphia, PA
As part of the Friends Council on Education's Service Learning Peer Network event, there will be a presentation and discussion with Andy Cohen, Founder and Director of the Bridge Film Festival and Media Arts Teacher at Brooklyn Friends School, Brooklyn, NY.
The Bridge Film Festival, in association with the Friends Council on Education, introduces bridging, a service learning opportunity. As a natural extension of our film festival, bridging encourages students to take action by coordinating "Screening Events" to raise funds for one annually-targeted charity. Bridging demonstrates the power of collective action through our network of Friends schools and institutions, while extending the impact of our student filmmakers' messages of concern.
