CHANGE THROUGH MEDIA:

What challenges do we face? More than ever, technology is bringing us closer
to other realities, those across the street, as well as across the world.
Media has the power to drive us to pursue interests that shape our global
community. Profiling new voices that narrate the issues we--as a society, as
an individual--are working on is a core element of change.

“Change through Media” will feature individuals and organizations who serve
as witnesses when others cannot, or will not. They make sure change gets
told--and happens--through media.

The panel includes:

-> Yvette Alberdingk Thijm, Executive Director, WITNESS
WITNESS, a nonprofit that uses video to open the eyes of the world to human
rights violations. WITNESS empowers people to transform personal stories of
abuse into powerful tools for justice, promoting public engagement and
policy change.

-> Karena Albers, Founder, KONTENTREAL
KONTENTREAL, a documentary film production and strategic entertainment
company dedicated to stimulating world leaders and audiences into action for
the improvement of our shared planet. Projects include television programs,
theatrical films, online programming, global events, and educational
content.

-> Katherine Fry, Ph.D., Education Director, The LAMP: Learning About
Multimedia Project
The LAMP, a nonprofit creating a grassroots movement to reform and improve
media, through free media literacy workshops and public events for youth,
parents and educators.

-> Alexia Prichard, Founder and Executive Producer, Closed Loop Films
Closed Loop Films, a production company focused on issues of environmental
and social justice, Alexia is an independent filmmaker, videographer and
editor, based in Boston.

Moderator: Alicia Marin, Deputy Director, ALAS
ALAS was founded by prominent artists and business leaders from Latin
America to mobilize Latin-American society toward the implementation of
integrated early childhood public policies, so that every child from 0 to 6
years old can have access to health plans, education and nutrition.
