Hopefully, all of this information will help you find the best open door for you to join us and help “pull the cart”, together with the rest of the TVP teams. Whatever you decide to do, whether you join an activism team or one or more of the other teams, remember that this is a globally collaborative project in which we are very likely looking at a long road ahead of us. This is not something that can be started today and have it finished tomorrow. Be aware of this and bring patience and a strong passion to learn. Together, we will reach our goal sooner than each one of us ever could out on his/her own island.
How can I join TVP Activism?The first thing anyone interested in becoming active will probably want to do is to find out if there are others in their country or state who are already involved in TVP Activism.
On the TVP website, there is a list of the current POCs who can welcome you on board and help you get to know the others in the team. The activist teams who are still quite small will give you the chance to help them grow from the beginning; the more established activist teams can help you benefit from the experience they have already gained.
We also have a list of TVP's recognized facebook groups and pages that you can check out to see if there is one for your country.
There are many unrecognized groups and pages out there that are not always sharing relevant information about TVP. If they are not on this list, they are not official. For this reason, we ask everyone to please not create any new TVP-focused Facebook groups or pages without consulting with TVP Activism first.
Once you find a team, it's important to take the time to find out all that is going on there, the tools that the team uses, who is who and who does what. In other words, how the team works and organizes itself. Be patient with this process and remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day! Some teams have been around a while and already have projects underway and are very organized. Some teams are quite new and still finding their footing.
Find a Point of ContactTVP on FacebookWhat kinds of activities are the activism teams organizing?Depending on the size of the team and the abilities of the different members, various kinds of projects can be organized. The most important one we are preparing for now is mass screenings of the new documentary series, “The Choice is Ours”, which will soon be ready for public release.
A documentary screening is perhaps one of the most typical events that teams create, but Teams are also involved in other important areas like Study Groups, Social Networks managment and translations (for those who doesen't speak english).
ARMENIAArmenia held a screening of Paradise or Oblivion in a high school.
