• To create awareness and promote the scholarly use of the digital media assets of Brave New Foundation among post-secondary educators and secondary school educators.
  
  
• To provide unfettered academic access to finished and raw video for multimedia projects and remixing.
  
  
• To provide access to new media production and distribution professionals and to issue experts for colleges and universities, community colleges and high schools.
  
  
• To build a network of college and university professors and high school teachers interested in using our films/videos to educate and inspire cross-curricular discourse in classrooms across the country.

Brave New Educators is a synergistic new media partnership between cutting edge college and university educators and Brave New Foundation. Brave New Foundation produces and distributes new media as a catalyst for civic engagement, informing public debate and motivating progressive social change. Participating undergraduate and graduate programs have already begun to integrate digital media production and presentation in courses as diverse as journalism, history, sociology and women's studies.

Brave New Foundation proposes to make our extensive library of films, videos and other media assets, including unused project and b-roll footage, available online for use in classrooms and student media production. Participating educators will also have videoconferencing access to director Robert Greenwald and the BNF staff, and access to BNF issues experts.

Brave New Educators will develop an on-line platform to share best practices and exemplary academic projects.

Working together, Brave New Foundation and Brave New Educators will develop an on-line platform where curricula and syllabi utilizing BNF's social change film and video can be archived and shared. The site will include links to BNF interviews with authors, journalists, activists, and clips from films including Rethink Afghanistan; This Brave Nation; Iraq for Sale; In Their Boots; and more.
