The Official Launch!

Welcome!

Thank you for visiting and learning more about the Dare to Dream Project. It is a historic moment for this particular endeavor and a historic moment for youth media in general.

The Dare to Dream Project was conceived for the purpose of providing youth in communities largely populated by recent and long-term immigrants, with a curriculum centered on media literacy and arts in a project-based learning environment. Emphasizing a hands-on approach to learning, students are led in discussions, shown media, and given projects to work on focused on using media to discuss the topics of immigration and culture.

The 4-month program culminates during New York City's Immigrant Heritage Week, when students from media and arts programs in the 5 boroughs have an opportunity to display and discuss their work during the inaugural Dare to Dream Media and Arts Festival. The event will provide additional youth made media content to an already rich participation of distinguished groups and organizations celebrating immigrant history.
