The Media Spot Founder Rhys Daunic
Rhys specializes in developing project-based media literacy learning experiences. He prides himself on being able to engage and collaborate with a broad range of personalities, learning styles, contexts, content, and comfort-levels with media.
Rhys has especially enjoyed opportunities to participate in meaningful media production experiences within intergenerational learning contexts. Notably, developing curricula with students and staff in NYC schools, creating media social action campaigns with international graduate students and their professors, and facilitating collaborative videos produced by elderly and young campers working together to document learning experiences in nature.
