Re: Brand Hamilton. We are looking for 8 students (up to 24 years of age) from different departments/programs, who can commit to take part in a five day workshop starting April 30th to May 4th 2013.
For the research phase of the project, participants will visit civic museums and landmarks, in addition to locations that they identify as significant to their personal heritage and to the collective history of the larger community. Photographs, prints, drawings, text, video, sound, and other workshop results will contribute to a tool kit for 3 more youth research teams, as well as to the creation of screen-printed and other promotional materials in the production/distribution phase.
Through an iterative process of participatory research and production workshops, a total of 40 youth from diverse cultural and economic backgrounds will create maps; tour guides, t-shirts, bags and other promotional materials that will help attract and connect young people to Hamilton’s sites.
If you are interested, please send a brief statement of interest that includes the following
• Department/program/field of studies
• Neighbourhood or residence area
• Date and place of birth
• Gender
• Favourite attraction in Hamilton
• Favourite spot in Hamilton, which is NOT on the tourism Hamilton map, but is significant to you, your family or your community
