iEngage Cape Breton CBC Interview

Starting in May, 2015 youth, Elders, and scholars from a number of communities in Eastern Cape Breton will come together to share knowledge and gain skills in aid of the iCreate Cape Breton project. Over May and June, the groups will meet to develop materials in their own communities, and then reconvene to share and tour their creations. We welcome the general public to join in the initial training weekend, the closing symposium, and the tour, and to follow the projects’ progress through the website and at the CBU Art Gallery, where two youth-led documentary terms will be posting and displaying their work in progress. You can listen to Marcia Ostashewski and Sheila Christie explain the project during a CBC interview on Information Morning below.
