Nebraska Arts Council's Executive Director, Suzanne Wise, commended TeamMates Mentoring Program for its programs, noting that "TeamMates is does an outstanding job of providing arts activities in Nebraska. It is through fine organizations like this that Nebraska's children receive a better education in the arts, and the quality of life is improved for all Nebraskans."
Digital Filmmaking artist, Ann Gradwohl, will be leading workshops in Lincoln, Blair, Wahoo and Norfolk this spring. TeamMates students in grades 3-12 and their mentors will come together to learn lifelong skills and creative exploration of film and new media in the context of contemporary culture. The workshops involve a series of activities that engage mentor/mentee teams in hands-on technology workshop and support their one-to-one mentoring sessions with discussion questions and activities. This hands-on experience with digital media empowers youth to use critical thinking skills in evaluating and responding to the digital mass media which are increasingly part of our communication and culture.
Upcoming workshops include: Blair, NE March 29th, Saunders County, Wahoo April 5th, Norfolk, NE April 26th and are open to TeamMates mentors and their students. For more information about this project, please contact the TeamMates Mentoring Program office 1-877-531-8326.
