TEENS USING MEDIA TO
CONNECT THE WORLD

CREATING A FUTURE OF
PEACEFUL COOPERATION

T.I.M.E.’s mission is to harness the energy of teenagers and the unique power of the media to help create a peaceful, cooperative world community. The primary goal of our first decade-long initiative is to reach an entire generation of young adults, giving them opportunities to create peace through understanding. The core of the program is collaborative international media projects between U.S. and foreign students.
T.I.M.E. recognizes that media shapes much of what people around the world think of each other. Young people have the most power to alter what that media will be in the years to come. As developing understanding between cultures has never been more critical, T.I.M.E. is dedicated to cultivating young leaders of different cultures who will use that power wisely, understanding their responsibility as media makers to humanity.

T.I.M.E. Is Sponsored in part by
The Foundation for SAT II Korean

The Academy Foundation of the
Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences

The Los Angeles Unified School District, and its

Screen School, Scotland
and
Cleveland High School, USA

In August of 2002 T.I.M.E.’s first international partnership was formed with Screen School in South Lanarkshire County, Scotland. Students from Cleveland High School communicated with students in Scotland via e-mail and collaborated on the script for a video project, with filming happening simultaneously in the U.S. and Scotland. Once finished, the U.S. footage was mailed to the Scottish team for editing there.

The end product, a short video entitled Totally American, premiered on both sides of the Atlantic on February 19, 2003. A CD version contains the students’ correspondence, pictures and bios, as well as behind-the-scenes footage of the making of Totally American.

The next Cleveland High/Screen School collaborative project will be a musical to be filmed in the Spring of 2003. Plans are also underway for a three country project in the Summer of 2004.
