The project emphasizes youth as the facilitators of discussion and the creators of valuable communal media. It expands learning beyond the classroom and develops students' literacy skills, now models and methods of teaching, learning, and cultural preservation.

In this way, they will become active collaborators in the construction of knowledge."
