Global Youth Media and Arts Program (MAP)

The Global Youth Media and Arts Program is an arts education program for youth ages 10-18 in New York and San Francisco.

Through the MAP youth use their own lives and communities as a platform to examine a global theme - Sustainable Communities - using visual arts, performance and media. This program illuminates the connections between community and world affairs and helps young people learn to use art and media as tools for self-expression, dialogue, and community engagement.

  • World Savvy's Media and Arts Program engages 1000 young people in New York and the San Francisco Bay Area in contemporary art, media and global issues
  • World Savvy provides over 50 art and media educators with the tools and training to bring global issues to the classroom!
  • The program culminates with The Global Youth Media and Arts Festival that showcases youth artwork, performance and media!
