What Are We Up To at World-Changing Kids?
I am so excited to announce that we have booked our first guest expert interview for this session of the Upstanders Academy. We will be interviewing Ryan Van Duzer - filmmaker, YouTube star and content creator extraordinaire.
One of the tools that we can teach the kids for their activism efforts is how to make great videos. This is also something that kids are super interested in learning about.
Ryan creates amazing videos of his outdoor adventures - mostly by bicycle - while highlighting friendship, love, community and ways we can make the world a better place. He also posts videos explaining his editing techniques and sharing his knowledge. I can't wait to give the kids the floor to ask Ryan all their important questions about creating great videos - and then take all of that knowledge gained and use it to create powerful, world-changing videos.
We have a few spots left in this session and want your awesome kids to join us!
Check out our Facebook event page for more details.
