Detroit Community Connect is a resource website for Detroit communities to get information from community organizations to empower them on a personal and economical level by receiving services, training or workshops.
The ideas that I have for my major project are to get feedback from my community on what they see as important to change their lives for the better. This information will lead to researching organizations that can help. Once a list has been populated the work of loading them on the website can begin. I would also like to have general lists for resources that are categorized for Children, Youth, Women and Seniors.
I am planning to investigate people's needs and wants in this economy for their advancement and bridging this with organizations that can help. It will be a one stop resource centre on the web. This will support my vision of Detroit's future through empowering people with knowledge at their fingertips that they can use to change their circumstances and outlook on life.
The media skills I need would actually incorporate all three tools: web, video and graphics. I will use the web and graphics for now as outlined in the classes provided to me by Detroit Future Media.
