*/BOOK TITLE.../* Crafting Impact: Exercises Beyond the Screen 
Production Classroom
*/EDITORS.../* A/Prof Nico Meissner & Dr Ally Bisshop; Griffith 
University, Australia
*/PUBLISHER.../* Routledge
*/WHY.../* Screens have become the medium of the 21st century, yet 
learning discourses and teaching literature remain widely focused on 
discipline specific knowledge and craft skills that primarily support 
screen industry needs. This book attempts to shift the conversation by 
sharing *simple and actionable learning exercises* that allow students 
to apply screen production knowledge and skills *towards social and 
environmental justice within their local communities*. In searching for 
examples of impactful learning and teaching, we hope to demonstrate how 
film schools can contribute to a meaningful transformation of the 
communities in which they are embedded and the advancement of global 
development goals.
*/ON A MISSION.../* Our mission is to expand the screen production 
classroom into the world. To get there, this project aims to:

 1.
    define and create a suite of resources for impactful learning and
    teaching at film schools, by exploring how teachers understand and
    design for local or global impact. To this end, we invite practical
    exercises that can be implemented in screen production classrooms
    around the world.
 2.
    build a dynamic and adaptive community of practice that provides a
    platform for sharing, reflection and collaboration. In the spirit of
    addressing and building this community, the book will be accompanied
    by a podcast series and website as places for ongoing reflections
    and resource sharing between contributors, collaborators and
    colleagues.

*/SCREEN.../* What do we mean by ‘screen practice/production’? Works of 
moving images in the widest sense; fiction or non-fiction, animated or 
computer-generated or live action, linear or interactive. We 
specifically encourage contributions that explore media convergence or 
apply screen practice in novel or unconventional ways.

*/HOW.../* The book is aimed at screen production students and their 
teachers. Each chapter will describe one learning exercise and include:

  *
    a short summary of your underlying teaching philosophy;
  *
    a case study of up to 1,000 words offering a narrative description
    of the exercise;
  *
    an activity template with instructions for learners and teachers.

This material should offer simple and actionable instructions for 
learning, which readers can adapt and make their own: play with, modify, 
share, implement.
