DESCRIPTION:Express interest here – we will be in touch! The deadline to begin is October 16\, but there are two information sessions that we will email interested parties about (Oct 7 and Oct 9). \nOpen to all Columbia students\, including Teachers College and Barnard \n\nThe Design for Social Innovation Track is a self-paced\, project-based program for Columbia students interested in addressing global problems. Participants will get a basic introduction to Human Centered Design through virtual modules that can be taken synchronously or asynchronously. From there\, they will practice these techniques while working on one of three challenges posted by our project partners. We will share the collective insights and ideas with the partners along the way. Students that complete the DFSI Track will be invited to a portfolio building workshop where you will learn how to represent the design work you did in a compelling way. \nThe DFSI Track is a good fit if you answer “yes” do ANY of the following questions… \nAre you interested in learning more about human centered design/design thinking? \nAre you looking to develop your existing human centered design practice further? \nDo you have no idea what human centered design means but care about working on social challenges? \nDo you want to work on a meaningful problem in a creative way? \nHeck\, do you have a couple hours a week to try infusing more creativity into the way you work? \nDid you answer “no” to all of these questions but are still curious? \nThe DFSI Track will run from early October to early December. To learn more\, come to one of our info session: \nWednesday\, October 7th from 6pm to 7pm ET \nFriday\, October 9th from 1pm to 2pm ET \nSign up below and we’ll make sure to give you all the info you need to engage.

SUMMARY:Spark Workshop Searies: BlackOakTV | Building Advocacy Through Entertainment
DESCRIPTION:RSVP here \nAbout two-thirds of black people in the United States pay for a subscription video on demand (SVOD) service\, such as Netflix. But the underwhelming number of shows centered around black stories and characters contributes to the prevention of black viewers\, who watch more long-form video content than any other ethnicity\, from subscribing to SVODs at higher rates. For instance\, of the current original scripted comedies and dramas aired on Netflix\, only seven percent have majority black casts.  \nNot only does this dearth of representation keep potential subscribers from committing to a streaming service\, it also negatively affects how black people view themselves and how others in society perceive and interact with black people and black culture.  \nBlackOakTV is on a mission to super-serve black viewers around the world with entertainment and information reflecting their lives and experiences while eliminating the underrepresentation and misrepresentation of black people in media that promotes antagonism against black people across the globe. \nJoin this interactive workshop to brainstorm innovative ways to deliver entertainment content that also addresses today’s societal challenges about race and social justice.
