Building Bridges

This video project, put together by students at Ben Franklin Middle and Robertson Intermediate schools in Daly City, is part of the San Mateo County Office of Education’s Positive Youth Media Blitz. The program aims to shift community perceptions of youth by projecting positive messages about youth in the community.

This video, "Building Bridges," showcases individual qualities of students "in the middle," – that is, they are not kids anymore, but not quite adults.

In this project, students worked after school with media experts, including advertisers, graphic designers, hip hop artists and video technology experts, to develop effective media messages. The video is part of a year-long effort, and was featured at a special event for parents, led by students at the school.
