CIA On FolkU - Episode 1

CIA/Folk U - What really matters most in the world? How will we help inspire the next generation of truth-seekers and truth-tellers? At the Cortes Island Academy we believe in the passion and skills of the people and wild places of this place and are proud of our youth who learned along side our community and shared their growing skills through journalistic podcasts, Elder Documentaries, Field Guides and unsung hero posters. February 16 on Folk U Radio CKTZ 89.5 FM (1 p.m. Fridays, repeats on folku.ca, cortescurents.ca, cortesradio.ca) featured youth journalists interviewing neighbours and regional experts on the issues of the day in our communities in their Audio Series called Desolation Sounds. February 16 featured: Samara Gibbs Reid - Finding Belonging Luis Dietz - Ant Ventures Sonia Schmidt - The Benefits of Pets Jasmine Harvey - Why Cortes? Fergus Walker - A Tale of Two Markets Lee Nagle - Living Authentically: Stories of Gender Expression We hope you will tune in!
