Media Literacy Workshops
For Undergraduate Students in the U.S. and the Global South
MeeLab’s Media Literacy Workshops are immersive, critical-thinking-based learning experiences designed to equip undergraduate students with the tools to decode, question, and creatively respond to today’s media landscape — from algorithmic feeds to climate disinformation, from AI-generated propaganda to the politics of representation.
We don’t just teach what media says — we ask who made it, for whom, and why now?
These workshops blend interactive lectures, hands-on media labs, discussion circles, and visual analysis with an emphasis on decolonial, anti-caste, anti-racist frameworks.
Village Film School
A MeeLab Initiative for the Global South
Village Film School is a mobile, immersive filmmaking program that brings cameras, sound gear, editing tools — and above all, storytelling mentorship — directly to under-resourced communities. Each summer, Ana Raaven and her team of students and MeeLab staff travel to rural villages and marginalized neighborhoods to conduct 7- to 10-day intensive film schools, where young people learn the art of filmmaking and the power of community storytelling. From scripting and shooting to editing and screening, participants create their own short films rooted in their lived realities. More than a workshop, this is a movement — to democratize media, amplify silenced voices, and nurture the next generation of critical storytellers.
