Description

WeOwnTV is a collaborative media project that promotes self-expression as a way to explore our shared humanity and bridge cultural divides.

Our first program uses community based media workshops to teach filmmaking techniques to a group of Sierra Leonean young adults. WeOwnTV has engaged a wide range of participants from young media professionals and students, to ex-combatant, street kids and child prostitutes. The program involves a community-engaged curriculum in which project participants collaboratively create and produce their own independent media. WeOwnTV empowers its participants, reawakening their imaginations to the possibility of positive change.

WeOwnTV provides the technical support, encouragement and training that allow these young adults to creatively produce their own media and share their experiences and ideas with the world.
