We began building the nuts-and-bolts of our engagement campaign during our 2016 Pool Movie Summer Arts Lab.
This 7-week community-oriented documentary media lab was designed and led by filmmaker Vicky Funari and supported by the John B. Hurford ‘60 Center for the Arts and Humanities Tuttle Fund at Haverford College. The lab engaged community members, college students, and field experts in a collaborative design process for the Pool Stories engagement campaign and website. As a group, we imagined how we might use the finished film and this website to create real impact on people’s lives.
The lab culminated in a session with Philadelphia area organizations and professionals involved in healthy aging: the Ralston Center, Beaumont Retirement, Abramson Center and Hospice, KleinLife, Healthplex, Physical Therapy Plus, sports medicine and geriatrics specialists, and others. We explored what kinds of activities and resources would be beneficial for potential campaign partners and their constituencies. We will reconvene and broaden this group as we near completion of the film.
