Today (Wednesday, May 6) at 3 PM the Digitally Lit Facebook Page will come to life as we launch Young Dreamers Who Do: Fun Exercises in Creativity & Learning—our first wave of Online Engagement Projects. Borne of the pandemic, these projects were spearheaded by Digitally Lit’s Youth Ambassadors, in the hopes of providing some structure and maybe even a little catharsis for themselves and their peers.
What’s Happening
The event will feature a live recording of a panel interview with four of the Digitally Lit’s Atlantic Canadian Youth Ambassadors. This video focuses on them answering prescreened questions from the general public regarding the inspiration and process behind the creation of their respective Online Engagement Projects.
What You Can Do
Check out their projects! Post a photo for Molly’s #InThisTogether campaign, get writing for Katie’s fanfiction contest, or take Oliver and Jessica’s quiz to see which protagonist you most resemble in selected Atlantic Canadian books. Meanwhile if you have any questions or comments, please inbox us on our Digitally Lit Facebook page.
On behalf of our very hard working and passionate Youth Ambassadors, our best to you all.
