EDUCATION AND TRAINING CreativeFuture Workshop at the Mid-Winter GEB Meeting Many IATSE members are familiar with CreativeFuture, an industry advocacy organization that works to combat digital theft of the productions we help to make. We have become Creative- Future members and perhaps even contacted elected officials about the importance of copyright protection. But as activists, we are always called to look for the next steps. HOW CAN LOCAL LEADERS AID THE FIGHT AGAINST PIRACY? HOW CAN WE INVOLVE OUR MEMBERS? AND HOW CAN WE TEACH OUR CHILDREN AND THOSE IN OUR COMMUNITIES TO BE GOOD DIGITAL CITIZENS? At the 2017 mid-winter General Executive Board Meeting Education Session, The IATSE Education and Training Department teamed up with CreativeFuture to present a three-part workshop. IATSE leaders first received a refresher lesson about the effects of digital theft on the arts and entertainment industry. Then they were supplied with techniques and tools enabling them to teach their members how to present this information at schools in their communities in order to effectively engage young people in a dialogue about digital piracy. duced benefits. By educating the public, and reaching out to young people, we can help to create a generation of media consumers armed with knowledge and the desire to be responsible consumers. Remembering the advice of Dr. Mark Johnson, of Train-the-Trainer fame, a new session was developed so that local leaders could teach their members to present a fun and interesting lesson on this topic in their local schools. Although Dr. Johnson did not attend the session, he collaborated with CreativeFuture on course development to take his principles of good instruction and apply them to the CreativeFuture message. IATSE leaders learned how to connect with the learner and teach abstract ideas concretely using props, videos, visual aids, and interactive learning. Key to this technique are our personal stories as IATSE workers - the creatives – who work behind the scenes to create all kinds of entertainment content. Our creative members can use their voices to raise awareness about the cultural, ethical, and economic implications of creative ownership, to foster respect for artists and the creative process and to inspire young people to become ethical digital citizens. Of course, helping children of various ages learn some of these difficult concepts is a big challenge. The final part of the session was devoted to working through a sample presentation for 3rd graders, learning to tailor it to make it your own, and then getting out into your community to present it. All participants walked away with informa- WWW.IATSE.NET The lesson was facilitated by CreativeFuture’s Allison Smartt and addressed the issues of copyright and fair use, breaking down the misconception that digital piracy doesn’t really do much harm. In fact, online digital piracy takes billions of dollars out of the creative economy, leading to fewer projects, fewer jobs for creatives, and re- WHERE TO WATCH AMAZON NETFLIX HULU APPLE PIRATED CONTENT PIRATEBAY MEGAUPLOAD 68 OFFICIAL BULLETIN
