On March 23-24, 2018, HLTD50 students in “Toronto’s Stories of Health and Illness” collaborated with the University of Guelph’s Project Re*Vision REDLAB, a state-of-the-art mobile media lab, to create seminar students’ final projects. By the end of the two-day workshop, 15 original digital stories were created and screened; topics included student mental health and illness, first- and second-generation immigrant health access, Islamophobia, death and mourning, aging and older age, caregiving and care practices.

And extra-special thanks to the UTSC’s Office of the Vice-Principal Academic & Dean, whose generous Experiential Education Funding grant made this memorable event possible. Thanks also to UTSC Communications’s student interns for writing about us here.
