What is the main goal for this project?

The main goal for the project is to develop a multi-part documentary series titled "Collaborative Movements" which explores the intersections of non-profits, social enterprises, third spaces and local communities in Ottawa in regards to topics and initiatives concerning public well-being, art, sustainability, food and housing security, and culture. The project also involves seeking assistance in grant writing and creating a filming project plan.

Tasks for learners to complete include (but can be reworked with learners and program coordinator based on logistics and scope):


- Researching and identifying potential grant opportunities for the documentary series.
