Global Lives needs your help to expand its impact on students around the world.

National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) Chairman Rocco Landesman announced last week that the Global Lives Project has been recommended for an NEA Art Works grant and an NEA Arts in Media grant. The Art Works funding will come in the form of $75,000 to support production, post-production, and distribution costs for producing a collection of videos entitled, “Lives in Transit.” An Arts in Media grant of $40,000 will go toward the development, production and distribution of an interactive web platform and video installation of the Global Lives Project.

CCA Professor Jody Gillerman’s class premiered a new "pop-up" version of the Global Lives Project's 10-projector immersive video installation of daily life around the world on Sunday, April 22, 2012. The exhibition is configurable for spaces of varied shapes from 900 to 2,500 ft2, indoors and outdoors.
The event also featured a special sneak preview of Global Lives Curriculum developed by graduate students at Stanford University’s School of Education—a three week intensive curriculum unit designed for seventh graders, and intended to be used in conjunction with the Global Lives exhibit or website.
Past Events:
The Global Lives Project has built installations and hosted film screenings in a variety of formats around the globe. We give talks and presentations about our work at academic and professional conferences and partner with teachers worldwide to create interactive curriculum for elementary through high school students.
