RANKIN INLET - Youth from across the Kivalliq region gathered in Rankin Inlet's community learning centre the week of July 6 to participate in a media workshop designed to promote healthy living.
The Inuusivut Workshops have been travelling throughout Nunavut since January 2008, according to trainer Qajaaq Ellsworth.
"The Inuusivut project kind of focuses on helping young people to promote mental health, we use multimedia as a way to help young people express themselves," Ellsworth said. He said participants learn photography and filmmaking skills to create photo slideshows and short films, as well as learning editing software.
"We've trained over 100 young people in photography and film production," Ellsworth said.
