This course will explore strategies and techniques to enhance communication with diverse audiences, impart community change, and build community relationships. Using real-life and current situations affecting their communities, students will create varied texts for different media focusing on purpose, audience, and impact. In addition, the course considers relationship-building as an integral part of the class.
We will explore the values, biases, and presumptions we bring to our texts. Special considerations of the challenges present through story-telling, content diversity, and inclusivity of the rich cultural diversity of the island.
At the end of the semester, students will be able to 1) create an original online educational campaign targeting their communities, identify the audience and tailor content delivery, and write and publish and op-ed.
