Description
The cinematic experience is unlike any other, as film is a powerful medium providing insight into the shared human condition. In 2019, the nonprofit arts organization Milwaukee Film partnered with Froedtert regional health network to create the Minority Health Film Festival (MHFF), a first-of-its-kind event, using film to spark conversation and create critical dialogue around social determinants of health.
Using the MHFF as a case study, our workshop demonstrates the efficacy of film-based ED&I training, while highlighting our innovative approach to private/public sector partnership. We provide the basic tools to leverage film curriculum to develop social and cultural programming, for internal and external groups, that entertains and educates.
Learn how your institution can assess its current systems, establish healthier cultures, and live up to the missions for equity within your organization and contributing to a more empathetic and equitable community.

• Learn how film-based cultural training (in-person and virtual) promotes experiential learning
• Develop a plan to incorporate film into your equity, diversity and inclusion strategies
