-Mik Jacobsen, Skokie MediaLab

A MORAL OBLIGATION?

I believe it is our responsibility to provide the pathways and vehicles; the

‘access’ to transformational experiences. 

When we do that,

COMMUNITIES AND INDIVIDUALS TRANSFORM THEMSELVES

by coming together, thinking, developing, creating and making.

--Sue Considine,
