Himalayan Youth Workshop "Who I am"

Himalayan Youth Voices Project
In partnership with TILT, Ninth Street Media Center and Sahayeta

The Himalayan (Bhutanese, Nepalese & Tibetan) community in the Bay area and nationally has been growing but there isn't much visibility or authentic representations of these groups in the media. To counter that scarcity of images by and about the Himalayan community, CAAM started the Himalayan Youth Voices Project in partnership with grassroots organization Sahayeta and funding from the Asian Pacific Fund.

CAAM and Sahayeta conducted a media literacy workshop at the first Himalayan Youth Summit in Oakland this past August and with their help recruited 16 youth participants for the full media workshop.




In this second video the youth affirm, "Who I am."
