Project CAM

Project CAM (cultural arts and multi-media justice) is an intergenerational, technology, communication and culture education awareness program. Project (CAM) builds upon our extensive oral history and community organizing video archival and GIS mapping database. It allows individuals the opportunity to explore basic learning skills in a nurturing environment using a hands-on approach and promotes individual critical thinking skills and creativity talents. Project CAM promotes diversity and addresses inequality, oppression and discrimination. Because we are so rural and poor there is a lack of technology infrastructure to facilitate an effective process of basic internet communication.

Project CAM as a part of ACTION is addressing the needs of both youths and adults to be able to share their stories, and learn about the stories of members in their community. There is a need for young people, their parents and community residents to have access to media advocacy skills to strategically broaden the base of support with effective messages, public relations, productions, promotions, press releases, digital storytelling, journalism skills, and alternative media outlets in the community.
