Yesterday afternoon, FilmAid Asia visited Island School in order to engage with sixth form students seeking projects for the Creativity, Action and Service element of their International Baccalaureate programmes.
FilmAid Co-Chair Magdalena Corso was assisted by three FilmAid student volunteers who shared FilmAid's role in Asia with their peers.
Students were inspired by the recently produced Tread Carefully, a video on landmine awareness, which was on display at the FilmAid Asia booth, and enthusiastically shared their own ideas in impromptu brainstorming sessions.An impressive 40 students opted to sign up to FilmAid!
With recent FilmAid events attracting a dedicated teenage following, we are thrilled to continue working with our younger supporters and sharing their projects in the near future!
