|
What is Canada CODE? Canada CODE is a collection of words and photos by Canadians collaborating online to welcome the world in 2010. It’s a creation of CODE, the Cultural Olympiad's digital edition, supported by Bell, with the National Film Board as a major collaborator. Canada CODE invites Canadians everywhere to connect with and explore this ever-evolving blueprint of the country. During the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, a selection of these stories will hit the big screen for the world to see. www.vancouver2010.com/code The NFB and CODE are collaborating to deliver Digital Storytelling Workshops to communities across Canada. This is lecture-style program with hands-on activities designed to build awareness and encourage educators, community leaders and librarians to deliver digital storytelling workshops to various people. Participants will contribute to Canada CODE and learn about the NFB collection and online resources for educators. |
