“The Way it Is” is a short documentary-style film featuring the youth of Stonegate, an underserved community in Etobicoke, Canada. The film features youth stories giving voice to what the Stonegate community means to them as individuals and as a group. In addition, they interviewed area residents to learn their perspectives. The Stonegate Community Health Centre (SCHC), which runs youth programs, was the target audience. They experience challenges engaging Stonegate youth. The screening provided a starting point for discussion between the youth and SCHC about how they could better engage and serve the youth of Stonegate.

H.B. Beal Secondary School has been the major technical secondary school in London, Ontario, Canada since the year 1912. In that time, Beal has established itself as being at the forefront of practical, hands-on education. The school has always welcomed those eager to learn, even those whom other schools discarded. For over 50 years, Beal has also been the leader in Broadcasting Education across Southwestern Ontario. However, recently, due to limited funding and an economy that is getting poorer and poorer, Beal’s broadcasting program, “BTV”, is falling behind. In order to prevent this, BTV is teaming up with local news station, Rogers TV, to create a show for youth, about youth, and produced by youth. This is quite exciting for the students enrolled in the program, but with funds being at their current level, the show seems due to fail. Both those at Beal and those at Rogers TV believe that this youth-oriented television show is vital to improving conditions in a city with a 9.1% unemployed rate (2% more than the Canadian average). At Beal, approximately 25% of the student population is high-risk, and almost 5% of the students live on their own (the highest across the school board). With tv segments that will talk about youth issues such as drug abuse, food preparation, and mental health issues, we believe that we can be a great aid to these students as well as youth all across the viewership.

This film looks at the successes of Canada in terms of its music, culture, languages and the integration of different cultures into the nation. Students from Mexico visited Canada to create this film with Canadian students and to celebrate the diversity and hope for the future that exists in a country which is as diverse as Canada.

This film, made collaboratively by students from Instituto Blaise Pascale, Mexico and St. Patrick's Intermediate School, Canada. The film examines the role of teachers and similarities and differences between Mexican and Canadian education. The students created this animation together, forming strong friendships and learning a lot about each others' cultures during the process. The result is an interesting and dynamic film which will be of interest to people of any age and background.

This film was made by students from Oaxaca, Mexico and Ottawa, Canada during an AYV visit to Ottawa, Canada. The students saw that their film-making group was incredibly diverse and represented seven countries among the seven team members. This inspired them to create a film which represented the diversity they saw in their group and reflected the diversity of Canada as a whole. The students profile the diversity of their group while explain why people came and come to Canada, and what they achieve there. The highlight of the film is that the students realise that Canadian people from all cultures come together in peace and work together to create a multicultural and happy environment in which to live.
