“Right in the middle of our session, one of my students just gets up, goes to the board and starts to deliver an amazingly eloquent and impromptu speech about the third question – why should the audience care?

How to Turn a Teenager Into a Global Citizen
-
Provide National-Geographic-quality footage to high school and college students in the USA and across the globe.
-
Support the students in creating their own documentaries, podcasts, PowerPoint presentations, and public service announcements so that they learn to understand and empathize with their subjects.
-
Encourage the students to showcase their projects in community events, film festivals, and other forums in order to practice their leadership skills and create a broader public understanding on issues of global significance.
Each year, Take 2 sends a crew out to film for three months in a global hotspot. We then create a comprehensive curriculum for high schools and a professional editing materials for post-secondary schools, and make both packages available to teachers around the globe.

Take 2 has developed a pioneering concept – apply cutting-edge media technology to the field of youth education in order to enhance leadership skills and social responsibility. The time is right – video technology is now within reach of most US high schools and global issues are touching every aspect of our lives. The subject matter draws teachers from a number of curricular fields, encouraging cross-fertilization within and between schools. The footage itself is extremely compelling to both students and teachers, encouraging them to create products that have a significant impact on their community and beyond. The video clip offers a 90-second sample of our Sudan footage.
