TRANSFORMING DOCUMENTARY CONTENT INTO CURRICULUM
Schwartz Essman Education Associates
WHAT WE DO FOR YOUR PROJECT
We develop innovative and project-specific curriculum to compliment an array of visual arts to include films, digital storytelling, textile arts and archives. As experts in social work higher education and clinical practice, our team builds trauma-informed and responsible curriculum that aims to create spaces for reflection, enhanced social awareness, critical thinking, discussion and opportunities for individuals and communities to achieve deeper understanding of complex social justice issues.
WHY SOCIAL WORK EDUCATORS?
Documentary films can have a significant social impact on individuals and society, particularly when the topics relate to change of thought and social justice issues.
We help filmmakers become aware of the impact on individuals directly in and around the documentary and the impact on the community.
Using social work grounded curriculum to further this process is not only enriching but sometimes pivotal to the purpose of the film as a vehicle to social awareness and action.
As experienced social work educators, we are skilled in transforming visual products to become powerful change agents!
