WE LOVE REAL HEROES

In an online environment where inaccurate stories have made the truth harder to find, authentic storytelling has become the latest battleground in the digital engagement space.

We believe that the best way to foster respectful discourse for better functioning societies is to help citizens tell real stories with professional video tools and technologies.

One Minute Academy is selecting some of the most promising storytellers around the world so that they can be trained in media literacy while crafting the stories that will help build social cohesion and trust in the integrity of democratic institutions .

ONE MINUTE ACADEMY

Our mission is to spread video literacy around the world, minute by minute. We work with both teachers and institutions to provide students and employees with new opportunities for self-expression. These are lucrative skills for entrepreneurs, journalists, artists and anyone who has a story to tell. "Keep it short" we say, and don’t waste people's time.

We have created online video education strategies for some of the world’s largest institutions, such as Adobe and National Geographic. We have also worked with 70 US Embassies and Consulates over the last 10 years to produce international programs focused on video production and storytelling.

Reporters, editors, producers, bloggers, and managers learn the value of producing substantive content that informs while helping to define the roles of citizens, civil society, government, the media, business and others in building fair, pluralistic, democratic systems that value and respect the opinions of all constituencies.
