Kids with Cameras

VISION! and the Kids with Cameras Program is a program where middle and high school students can be positive members  of  their community through learning and exploring socially and community minded issues.
 
We encourage young people in their creativity, exploring ways that they can be an instrument of positive change, and an indispensable part of our community.
 
Our program begins in September. This year we hope to increase the involvement and opportunities we make available to our students by involving community mentors with our local Secondary School aged students.
 
 Each Student will produce one or two Oral History shorts under the guidance of Center for Mediation and Compassionate Communication Studies Staff  and the University of Oregon Internships.
 
We  look forward to involving  Community experts in film shooting and production, giving our students an opportunity to learn from professionals in the field.
 
In June we will have our screening gala event. In the upcoming months we are also dedicated to finding various venues, such as local community TV,You Tube, School Curiculum  to show the Oral History documentaries made by our students.

Elder's Meditation of the Day
"Men and women have an equal responsibility to restore the strength of the family, which is the foundation of all cultures."
--Haida Gwaii Traditional Circle of Elders

The family is the heartbeat of strength of the culture. The grandfathers and grandmothers taught their children; they in turn had children who taught their children. If the family isn't taught the culture, then the children become adults and the adults become the grandfathers and grandmothers and the result is the culture becomes lost. This is how language is lost; this is how dances are lost; this is how knowledge is lost. We need to listen to our Elders, today, before it's too late.

"Great Spirit, teach me the culture so I can teach the children." Anonymous
