Allied Media Project offers new free workshops in the D

The Allied Media Project, one of our favorite digital collectives, are continuing their mission to bring digital media tools to the people with a new series of 22-week workshops.

The Future City Media Workshops will offer free training in web design, graphic, audio and video creation this spring from their offices on Third Street in Detroit. The workshops will also coach students in grassroots organizing and digital entrepreneurship. The big idea? Learn from pros, and then get out in the community to share those skills. Participants will graduate with the unique skill sets necessary to train other Detroiters in digital media, create their own jobs, foster cooperative forms of community wealth creation, and support media-based community organizing for a better Detroit.

If you're interested, be sure to check out the Facebook page and attend the information session Feb. 16 at 7 p.m. The address is 4126 Third Street, inside the Furniture Factory Building. Apply or find out more here.
