About Global Eyewitness
Global Eyewitness is a rigorous and rewarding two-course program where students travel internationally to create multimedia stories. The program encourages students to gain a deep understanding of cultures, histories and contemporary issues in order to create rich and contextualized stories told with empathy, integrity and accountability.
During the fall semester, students attend a semester-long course to learn about bias in reporting, solutions journalism and trauma-informed reporting. Students also dive into Vietnam’s history and culture. Throughout the fall semester, the students complete field work assignments to produce a multimedia project due at the end of the semester.
Over winter break, during the first two weeks of January, students travel to Vietnam to develop multimedia stories focused on addressing local issues and concerns. When they return, they spend the spring semester editing and producing in-depth multimedia stories that showcase how local communities are trying to solve problems.
Through Global Eyewitness, students have the opportunity to travel and develop compelling stories from all parts of the world by connecting problems with possibilities. Students embrace the ethical obligation to boldly tell the story of the diversity and magnitude of the human experience.
