Bonairean youth are often stereotyped as just hang out either looking for trouble or not doing anything productive. The truth is that the majority of Bonairean young people want to make their dreams become a reality but for some, it is a struggle. Unfortunately, many have given up. But the good news is that we can do something about that. We can make the youth's voice and dreams be heard. We can empower the youth in our communities by providing them with the skills they need to effect change on Bonaire. The we set-up a town-hall meeting in each town where the youth can share their vision for their own town. Their solutions should be in the following areas: - closing the culture gap (help prevent differences between cultures in their town and stimulate mutual understanding) - strengthen the intergenerational infrastructure (bringing seniors and youth together) The ideas need to be narrowed down the top 3 best ideas for each area.

ARTIST STATEMENT Autism affects one in every 88 children are diagnosed with autism. Take into consideration that the average American family has two kids or more. That means that even MORE siblings are affected than those that are diagnosed! The stars of "Touched By Autism" are friends of Mia: Christian Baker is one of her friends who is part of her Sibling Group and Paul Mikulskis is a classmate of hers who she's known for years and attends Boston Latin School. Autism changes lives: those affected by autism would not be as compassionate, as patient, or as open to anybody's situation as they just naturally have to become when touched by autism. Anyone who is touched by autism is left a different person. "Touched By Autism" is to serve as an eye-opener that makes people more aware to the fact that autism doesn't just affect the person diagnosed: it affects every single person the autistic person meets. More than that, it affects the people closest to them: in their family and in age, the closest would be their siblings. Outsiders most times forget about how autism affects the siblings and this video is to enlighten others to remember everyone that is affected. The siblings, besides the diagnosed, are those that are affected by autism the most.

Daniella, Josh and Phoebe applied independently to take part in the BFI Film Academy, a six week intensive filmmaking course delivered by Eastside Educational Trust. They were selected because they demonstrated a real passion for filmmaking and a desire to develop their skills beyond the work they were doing at school. With different backgrounds and levels of experience in filmmaking they came together as a team to create a short film – they contributed to all aspects of the production as well as attempting to achieve their own individual challenge in a specific role. Unlike many of the participants, these students decided to focus on a documentary about a subject which is very close to their hearts. It was hard work but their perseverance paid off and they were able to meet and interview many people to try and effect change in their community.
