Digital Literacy Project – Community Outreach

The Digital Literacy Project is an initiative of the Atwater Library and Computer Centre through which we foster positive digital citizenship and engage people in creative new media production. Since 2007 we have worked with over 50 partner organizations and schools and through them, more than 3,100 individuals of all ages and stages.

This fall we are partnering with Concordia University’s Department of Theatre for the fifth year in a row  – with students in a Theatre course called The Artist in Residence  – as well as Concordia graduate students with “The Right to the City: Cross-Disciplinary Pedagogy and the Politics of Montreal’s South-West.” We will be connecting the students to our community partners and helping them create an online digital reflection of their experiences through social media, video and photography.
