The Cinematic Arts Workshop is a creative learning enterprise at the University of Louisiana, Lafayette. The Workshop was designed to complement the university’s Moving Image Arts curriculum, an interdisciplinary program in development at the University of Louisiana. Based on the principle of active applied learning, the Workshop’s prime function is to facilitate interdisciplinary collaborations between students and professionals (including off-campus producers as well as faculty) in the expression of art and ideas through digital media. Along with generating a number of national award-winning documentary films, examples of the Workshop’s efforts include contributing to the creation of educational computer games for middle school science students, and producing original media to support the School of Architecture and Design’s entry in the national Solar Decathlon competition. This year, the Workshop launched ‘Local Produce: A Marketplace for Homegrown Media’, an Internet-based economic development initiative aimed at promoting and digitally distributing new media works by emerging digital artists and young filmmakers who lack access to the larger mainstream media distribution markets. |

| The Early Childhood Development Project for Orphans and Vulnerable Children is a CARE/Covance partnership that will pilot five community-based daycare centers for preschool children in Rwanda.

By providing a safe and secure environment, the project will support the physical, emotional and cognitive development of young children, and reduce incidences of sexual and physical abuse and neglect. The pilot will also assess the longer-term feasibility and sustainability of community-based daycare centers for young children in Rwanda. | |
