Our program’s special approach is twofold: Firstly, this program builds upon the foundation established during our summer program. The majority of our students are already well-oriented to our mission and methods. Over the course of seven weeks during the summer, they have delved into narratives surrounding cultural diversity, equity, and inclusion. They have also honed their skills in creating compelling Google Slides presentations. This prior experience equips them with a solid understanding and readiness to engage in deeper learning. Secondly, Afrimerican TV’s project-based learning approach offers a comprehensive and highly practical learning experience. Through this platform, students not only acquire knowledge but actively apply what they’ve learned. This hands-on approach allows them to witness firsthand the direct impact of their education on real-world projects, enhancing the engagement and impact of their learning journey. This approach is a powerful catalyst for developing skills, fostering creativity, and cultivating a profound understanding of the subject matter. Within the realm of Afrimerican TV’s social media engagement, this approach takes shape through student involvement in the active management and analysis of social media content. By applying technical data analysis techniques to evaluate social media metrics, students gain valuable insights into audience engagement and content effectiveness. This hands-on participation in managing a real-world social media presence not only elevates their executive skills but also provides a tangible application of their learning. It underscores the comprehensive and practical nature of Afrimerican TV’s educational approach, strengthening the connection between theory and real-world practice.
