Welcome to Film 150: Multicultural America!

Welcome to Film 150: Multicultural America. As part of our course this semester, we will complete our service learning component at Escuela Vieau, a K-8 school in south Milwaukee. In conjunction with the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Milwaukee, Escuela Vieau offers after-school extracurricular programs and operates a Community Learning Center. Students take part in a variety of programs including:
  • Fine Arts Programs and Activities
  • Science, Technology, Engineering and Math tutoring in the "Project Lead the Way" (PLTW) lab
  • Athletics
  • Drug, Alcohol and Violence Prevention Programs
  • Educational Enrichment Opportunities
  • The Goethel Library/Media Center
This semester, you will work with the students, faculty and staff at Escuela Vieau, take part in the after-school programs, and learn about the school and community. You will also document and create a media archive of your service learning experience at Escuela Vieau. Please take the opportunity to visit Escuela Vieau's website (link above) and learn about the school's curriculum, bilingual program, community partners and other initiatives and programs.
