Calling All Young Globalists: Multimedia Journalism Summer Camp

Here is a great opportunity for any teen between the ages of 15 to 19; it’s a new journalism camp this summer at the University of Washington.

The Seattle Digital Literacy Initiative, a youth journalism program of the Common Language Project and UW Department of Communication, is offering a 5-day Multimedia Journalism Camp from July 23-27. Teens will learn cutting edge journalism skills on the UW campus alongside professional journalists. From photography, video, audio, editing, and publishing, participants will get hands-on experience with professional gear in an energetic, fun environment. See work from previous journalism camps here.

Youth who attend the week of media training will:

• Create media with professional video, photo, and sound equipment and editing software.
• Publish their work online and receive blogging/social media training.
• Work side-by-side with professional journalist mentors on the University of Washington campus.
• Have the chance to have their story published on the Seattle Globalist.

The camp is pay-what-you-can and full scholarships are open for any student.
