Meridian Stories in 40 Seconds
With schools involved across the English-speaking world, the Competitions — 15 per year — are the soul of the Meridian experience. Beginning with engagement, the students journey through curricular exploration and story creation, and end in media production. The results are two-to-four minute digital stories that are uploaded to the Meridian Stories site for all to see; are evaluated by outside media professionals and educators (the Mentors); and awarded placement and digital badges.
