Mission Statement

Otherworld Children’s Media Mission Statement

The Mission of Otherworld Media is to cultivate and encourage creativity, imagination, and deepened comprehension in young minds through a variety of media, art forms, technologies, and learning experiences.

VALUES STATEMENT

We are dedicated to serving a diverse population of children and young people grades K-12 through the use of audio, visual, theatrical, tactile, and digital resources in order to stimulate creative engagement, deepen comprehension, and develop multiple literacy skills. 

We believe that all children have a human right to discover, use, and expand their innate capacity for creative thinking and that the power to do so is a life-affirming activity as well as a learning-enhancing one. We maintain that a creatively engaged mind is one that is well prepared to absorb and generate new ideas and happier to do so.

VISION STATEMENT

We provide a safe and useful online portal for children, teachers, and parents to access programming and curriculum in various media, Common Core-based support materials, and tools for enriching educational experience through activities that generate deeper creative engagement, discovery through investigative exploration, and greater sensitivity to social justice issues that pertain to the rights and well-being of children and young people.

We continue to produced award-winning programs for public media (radio, TV, online), live theatre, schools, libraries, museums, festivals, and conferences— locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally— as we have done since 1981. 

We leave the legacy of the work accomplished and still available to the public for educational purposes and enjoyment.
