With over $50,000 of donated labor and time by The Project Team a few lucky Youth drawn from Coalition partners Girls Inc. and Lynn Community Health Center’s KAYA Youth Program will take a 9 month-long journey of awareness that will culminate in a presentation and celebration of Film and Art at Girls’ Inc. in September of 2012.
The Youth will be engaged with classes on Lynn’s rich Immigration history, interview skills and video production and then will experience The Highlands story by gathering histories from Immigrants from Russia, Greece, Iraq, Nigeria as well as many Latin countries.
The Youth will then create a completed film with visual art and dance to express their new understanding and appreciation of their place within Lynn’s rich ongoing Immigrant experience.
The Highlands Coalition would like to thank Mass Humanities for their sponsorship which will enrich Youth experience and create a film able to be viewed at varied locations which will enrich all the Citizens of Lynn for some time to come!
