The Blue Planet

Background Context

The UCC had some funds available for special projects upon submission of proposals. I was aware of a felt need for Christian Education materials for children on the Sacraments which were denominationally appropriate.

Approach Used

• I did up a proposal to make a production at the elementary school level with intentional involvement of a minority group which was accepted.
• I researched the content and matched the appropriate group (the deaf community in this case) for involvement, wrote the scripts and produced the material for the target age group, with appropriate approvals throughout the process, utilizing deaf community children. It was distributed on slide tape format.

Current Status

Shelf life of most AudioVisuals is about three years. It is now retired from use.

Findings To Date

The process of media production and the content product itself are both potential tools for the development of community and integration of minorities into the mainstream.
