This Level Up Project is for Indigenous video editors who wish to learn and develop their video editing skills across cultures. This is an 80-hour project and a pre-requisite for additional video editing projects.

This is the first of a gradual multiple-step learning experience in Indigenous video development and editing.

This project is designed for people who identify as Indigenous

Project Details: Students will engage with 6 Indigenous Education videos, complete corresponding reflection pages for each, and attend respective team meetings.

Students will shadow and work alongside a Production specialist to become familiar with general video editing and development techniques. The goal of this project is to equip students with the skills to move forward to work confidently with IISB in the curation of Knowledge Nuggets.

Students who complete this first level of video editing training will then be eligible to go on to the next level of video editing projects.

The International Indigenous Speakers Bureau (IISB) will provide an opportunity to connect and engage with material from various Indigenous speakers, leaders, and Knowledge carriers from around the world; in areas such as history, Two-Spirit, environmentalism, health care, Indigenous Data Sovereignty, etc... For Indigenous students, this engagement will give the intern an opportunity to expand upon their own knowledge of other Indigenous communities' perspectives and worldviews, as well as a chance to possibly dive deeper into their own cultural connections.

Students will dive deeper into techniques of video editing and production more aligned with an Indigenous learning experience. This includes learning about pacing, appropriate media selection, honouring source material, Indigenous Data sovereignty, etc.

At IISB, we provide a safe and supportive environment where interns can learn, discuss, and unpack their questions and feelings as they go through the Indigenous Awareness Education.
