Creative Activism- A Free and Open Undergraduate Class exploring Media Activism #creativact0

In January 2012 we’ll be launching our Free and Open Undergraduate class exploring Creative Activism

This class will explore the potentials of creative media activism through encouraging ‘live’ creative interventions and participation in cultural, political and social debates.

Throughout the 10 week class we will be exploring how media activists and campaigners have used their media knowledge, connections and skills to ask difficult questions, provoke debate and raise awareness of important issues and problems in their local, national and international communities.

Choosing an issue that is important to them, participants in the class will work on a number of real and situated tasks that will aim to provide them with a number of new knowledges and skills.

By being run as an open community it will enable participants to constructively critique, learn from, build on and collaborate with each other to produce a body of work that will, hopefully, make a practical and positive mark on the world.

If you’d like to get involved, or just stay up to date with the work of this class, please join us here.
