Preserving Your Culture Video PDF
Create video projects that matter!

This Preserving Your Culture Video PDF is the first in our series of downloadable media-rich resources that demonstrate how to connect classroom filmmaking to meaningful learning projects.

Based on our successful Director in the Classroom Preserving Your Culture workshops in Canada and the United States, this resource explains how students create oral history projects that meet curriculum requirements and benefit students, family and community now and in the future. Video Interviews of family, local artists or storytellers are combined with archival images and sounds to create portraits of community culture and history.

This PDF looks at why a Preserving Your Culture filmmaking project is important through four key benefits;

• building awareness and preserving culture
• skill development
• advancing teaching and learning
• technology integration

This resource also details the filmmaking process from the development of ideas to the presentation on screen, with an easy to follow, step-by-step approach. The PDF is designed as both a resource for instructors as well as a printable document to share with students.
