INITIATIVES
Future Dialogues
A major initiative of the TK1 Youth Council
These are formal events convened at the Taos Center for the Arts (TCA), featuring food, photographs, podcasts, and then student video investigating aspects of our collective future.
In December 2023, we will host The Future of our Forests.
In December 2022, eleven student videos explored The Future of our Water.
In May 2023, student videos asked: what is the Future of our Food?
In-School Programs
During the school year, TK1 has a robust set of in-school programs, working across Taos County and into Rio Arriba County.
Every classroom has its own challenges and media needs. TK1 staff work directly with teachers across northern NM to design an approach that satisfies specific and tailored learning objectives.
After-School Programs
When school is in session, TK1 offers after-school instruction in multimedia skills.
