About this event
- 2 hours
Prepare to be inspired! In this online workshop, you’ll learn about available resources to help your community find trustworthy information. With support from like-minded individuals, you’ll brainstorm how to apply the materials to your own role and community. And there’s even an opportunity to join our Summer Remix Program, and get paid to further develop materials!
The resources you’ll hear about were created by caring professionals and volunteers just like you - librarians, community leaders, high school educators, and community college faculty who worked with the Co-Designing for Trust project to address the pressing information literacy needs in their communities. The resources include such innovative approaches as an interactive game, library programming, an information literacy toolkit, and an inter-generational Media Mentorship event.
Following the workshop, attendees can apply to participate in the Summer Remix Program. This will provide stipends to continue this innovative resource development over several weeks. Each remix participant will partner with a co-designer/mentor chosen to help them meet their goals. Remix participants will then have a chance to share what they’ve created at the end of the summer.
This registration page is for community college faculty. If you are not community college faculty please use one of the following links to register:
