Media Minds
About Us
About 80% of immigrant children under the age of 15 do not know how to speak English when they arrive in Canada. To tackle this issue, Media Minds was created in 2012 to help youth newcomers deepen their engagement in Canadian society while maintaining their cultural image through our digital literacy project.
What We Do
Media Minds works with local schools and community centers to provide a team-based workshop that strives to help students integrate into and engage in their community. These workshops enhance their interpersonal and teamwork skills through the use of film education.
Our goal is to give students a more effective transition into high school by empowering them to speak up, share their ideas and overcome the barriers they face
In 2015/2016, 15 Enactus SFU students were able to impact 58 individuals in the community and contributed over 3670 volunteer hours.
