The Paradigm Shift Project

Description

PSP chooses pressing issues facing our global community and documents sustainable solutions emerging from grassroots changemakers around the world. To date, we have filmed 9 projects with over 80 NGOs in 7 countries, on topics ranging from the rights of children to access to water to food security to sex trafficking. For each project, PSP engages in education outreach, training local non-profit organizations how to use film and photography to support their work, giving public lectures on social responsibility and engagement, and conducting in-class workshops for youth. All of our films are available online free of charge, for the world to see and share. We also create a free Educator’s Toolkit to accompany each film, with activities for use in classrooms from grade one right through university levels. These innovative resources inspire and empower students and educators alike with the tools they need to get involved as active global citizens working to achieve positive social change.
