World Savvy Presents: The 6th Annual Global Youth Media & Arts Festival Celebration June 5, 2010

The Global Youth Media & Arts Program is a unique arts program for youth ages 10-18 in New York and San Francisco. Through the MAP youth use their own lives and communities as a platform for examining a global theme - Immigration and Identity - using visual arts, performance and media. This program illuminates the connections between community and world affairs and helps young people learn to use art and media as tools for self-expression, dialogue, and community engagement.

This year, over 700 middle and high school students from 12 Bay Area schools have participated in the MAP and the festival represents the culminating showcase of exploration of the program’s theme.
