JAMMS program (Journalism As Music, Multimedia, and Songwriting) is a culturally immersive, experiential intensive for youth and adults. Rich and meaningful conversations open the door for participants to learn about each other's backgrounds, identities, and lived experiences. From these conversations, participants choose a theme to collectively write a song and create a multimedia production. In addition to their original song, participants will also have the opportunity to learn and perform during a culminating concert a couple of the more than 70 JAMMS songs have been written, recorded, and performed by hundreds from around the world. JAMMS sessions are open to musicians and non-musicians alike, and are led by professional musicians, multimedia creators, and educators trained in MIC's unique facilitation methodology.
