Participants will develop written impact campaigns in workshop, which they will then begin to deploy during the final months of the grant period. Pre and post-project surveys and participant interviews will reflect that 1) Participants feel more confident in their ability to pursue an impact campaign for their films than they did before the workshop began; 2) Participants were able to successfully begin the impact campaigns they developed in workshop; and 3) Participants feel that meaningful collaborations with teaching artists and artist mentors increased the emotional impact of their films. Board member and former Refugee Voices participant Ishwari Rajak will observe the workshop process, conduct interviews and assess completed films to determine the extent that participants felt more engaged and able to creatively express their subject matter through their artist partnership. Evaluator and lead teaching artist will also observe the deployment of the participants' impact campaigns during approximately the last 6 months of the grant period, and in this way will be able to determine whether the written impact campaigns were successful on their own terms.
Project outcome 1: Participants developed effective impact campaigns in workshop, which they began to deploy during the final months of the grant period. Project outcome 2: Participants and arts mentors worked together as creative co-producers of short films.
