MAP - Description

With World Savvy's Global Youth Media and Arts Program (MAP) youth explore international issues through a creative lens. World Savvy partners with more than 20 local schools and arts organizations each year to help educators and youth integrate global issues into their work. Through the MAP, young artists (age 12-18) learn about relevant community and world affairs and create original works of art and media to express their perspectives. The works created during the MAP are presented at the Global Youth Media and Arts Festival, a public visual and performing arts showcase.
