Regent Park Focus Youth Media Arts Centre

At FOCUS Media Arts Centre we strive to promote the idea that media broadcast communication can, if used effectively, help provide people with the information they need to make the best possible decisions about their lives, their communities, their societies, and their governments. At FOCUS Media Arts Centre we are committed to media literacy and help community members understand that media in all its varied forms are based on fundamental concepts; and once an individual is familiar in the application of these concepts they are better at understanding, interpreting, decoding and deciphering media messaging. Finally at FOCUS Media Arts Centre we provide community members with the tools they need to produce broadcast media and encourage them to use these tools to share their own opinions, experiences, thoughts, and ideas about what it means to live in community, not only in the neighbourhood of Regent Park but also as a global citizen.
