Participant Productions: Extending Reach of An Inconvenient Truth
When Participant Productions, the film production company behind An Inconvenient Truth, wanted to extend the film’s message into the classroom, they turned to Topics Education. We designed, promoted, and managed a high school science program that compels students to take personal and community action against global climate change. Distributed online and promoted through social media and direct mailings, the curriculum had tremendous success, winning two national awards and logging over 150,000 teacher downloads.

The Outdoor Foundation: Getting Kids Active and Outdoors
We all know by now that more and more youth in America are overweight and spend less free time outside. This is occurring despite the growing volumes of research showing that unstructured free play outside brings a host of benefits to children, including living healthier, happier, and more cooperative lives as well as improving their academic acheivement. Concerned by these trends and fueled with a mission to inspire and grow future generations of outdoor enthusiasts, The Outdoor Foundation hired Topics Education. We developed a multimedia educational program for their volunteer mentors that would better train them to provide positive outdoor experiences for youth and get more kids outside.
