"As part of this three-day workshop, students will travel to National Geographic for a screening and talkback with award-winning filmmakers and producers who illuminate global issues through short, character-driven videos. The films, "Widows" and "Diego's Rebirth," tell the stories of youth in Mexico and women in Uganda who are combating violence in their communities. The focus of the field trip will be on teaching students about the process of planning and producing videos for the web that humanize a global issue. Pre-screening workshops, led by a member of the Pulitzer Center education staff, will introduce students to the historical context necessary for understanding the films. They will also introduce students to the structure for producing character-driven videos for the websites of leading news publications. Hands-on post-screening workshops, which will be co-facilitated by the visiting filmmaker, will guide students in creating pitches for character-driven short films exploring an issue their own communities.

The Washington Bach Consort's newest education program is the Wunderkind Projekt, designed to inspire your music students! (A wunderkind is a person who achieves great success when relatively young.) Professional musicians and educators from the Bach Consort will visit your school and discuss an upcoming Noontime Cantata concert which students are then invited to attend. A Consort musician will return to your school a week later to continue the discussion and reinforce the concert experience. What will your wunderkinds accomplish after experiencing Bach's music? Higher test scores? A new found appreciation for the arts? A 21st century Bach Revival?! We strive to create an appreciation of early music that will last a lifetime.
