CHASING THE LIGHT

Stories are a lifeline for ideas, and everyone has a story to tell. Experience the award-winning video storytelling workshops of the One Minute Academy by traveling worldwide with their teachers and meeting the students as they learn to tell their stories.


One Minute Academy's mission is to spread video literacy around the world. Working with both teachers and institutions to provide students and employees with new opportunities for self-expression, they have created online video education strategies for some of the world’s largest institutions, such as Adobe and National Geographic. To date, they have collaborated with 75 US embassies on projects ranging from drug violence prevention and economic empowerment, to countering violent extremism and training for diplomats.
