UforChange: Creative Culture Better World

UforChange provides
community support to young residents of St. Jamestown. The organization provides dozens of
art-based workshops in music, dance, fashion, photography and filmmaking throughout the year. As a
part of this ongoing series LIFT facilitated workshops in Super 8mm and HD
filmmaking. Workshops included: training on the Sony EX1 camera, basic
lighting, Super 8mm filmmaking and location sound recording. LIFT continues our
partnership with UforChange with a new workshop series starting in Summer 2011.

UforChange is a project for youth in St. James Town that
integrates arts, culture and human rights to grow community and improve
livelihoods. Through community building workshops, hands-on art exploration and
projects, staff, participants and mentors explore the social, environmental,
and cultural issues affecting the community and learn how to express themselves
and their ideas for change effectively to the city, the country, and the rest
of the world. UforChange is a federally funded project with numerous other
community stakeholders and brought to you by the Wellesley Institute, Low
Income Families Together, Cabbagetown Community Arts Centre and Banyan
Youth.
