Wide Angle Grad in Columbia
19 Aug 2010
Kyle Halle-Erby, a Wide Angle/Mentoring Video Project alum and graduate of Tufts University, was just awarded a Fulbright scholarship to be an English Teaching Assistant in Colombia. Inspired by his media work with Wide Angle, he traveled first to Bogotá to teach a digital storytelling project with two other Tufts students.
Alex, Tatiana and Kyle ran a two-week workshop in one a Bogotá school's after school program for under-served youth. Each student wrote, shot, and edited their own story about what it means to be from and live in Bogotá. Thos stories are now available on the blog and Kyle is moving to Riohacha, Colombia where he will teach English part-time and try to recreate an extended version of the Bogotá youth media workshop.
We are so thrilled to see our students take their skills and share them with the world! Read more about their day-to-day experiences here and how to support their efforts:
