PROJECTION 20: YOUTH EDUCATION

OUT IN SCHOOLS

Out in Schools is our new education program garnering critical acclaim. Launched in 2004, we bring independent queer films into BC high schools and talk with students about the issues that affect queer youth.Out in Schools aims to increase understanding through education to combat issues such as homophobia and bullying that threaten the safety of our classrooms for both queer and straight students. Last year we reached over 1900 students in 42 presentations!

FIRSTOUT YOUNG FILMMAKERS

FirstOUT Video is an intensive video boot camp for queer youth. The initiative brings four celebrated independent media artists together with queer youth to work with them on developing their own cultural voice and producing their first video.
