PHOT-309: Social Impact

Whether as a primary focus, or part of a mosaic of professional production, many media producers see incorporating sociopolitical engagement into their work as a necessary aspect of sustaining a healthy, long-term career. The class will cover different strategies for working in the nonprofit and nongovernmental sector-working for organizations and working with organizations. The class will focus on meeting the needs of a nonprofit- social media content, developing and promoting targeted campaigns, etc. One or two nonprofits will be chosen and the class will work as a team to tackle the needs of the organization(s). Student work will be scheduled taking into account skills, interests, and ability to accomplish specific tasks. The class will also introduce the process of producing a personal project in partnership with an NPO/NGO-including community partnership and funding.
