Nova Iorque, Nova Iorque (Outubro 25, 2021) Planet Classroom is proud to showcase KIDS FIRST! Film Festival best films created by youth filmmakers worldwide beginning on November 1st to celebrate KIDS FIRST! 30º aniversário.
“There are so many different elements that go into making a film,” said KIDS FIRST! Fundador, Ranny Levy. “When kids participate in either the creation or the marketing process of a film, they learn valuable life skills including problem solving, pensamento crítico, colaboração, and pitching. They gain the self-confidence to express an opinion that they can debate with their peers.”
“We at Planet Classroom believe that quality storytelling is the most powerful way that young people can share ideas that inspire positive change,” said Cathy Rubin, Co-founder of the Planet Classroom Network. “Now more than ever is the time for youth media makers to help us rethink a world in which all peoples can flourish. We are delighted to join forces with KIDS FIRST! to celebrate incredible stories that focus on some of the most important global issues of the moment.”
