Make History Every Day!
A new online course created to give students meaning and purpose in their lives by connecting them to the Free Speech Film Festival's Award-winning FREE SPEECH FILMS
Find Your Meaning and Purpose:
Let Your Life Speak!
American INSIGHT’s online course, Make History Every Day!, teaches students of all ages to engage in the challenges of Democracy today by discovering their meaning and purpose, and where they fit into our global society.
As they create a private self-reflective keepsake journal, students explore the Magna Carta’s influence on Free Speech, Human Rights and the Rule of Law by examining the lives of Free Speech Heroes on our two proprietary Free Speech Storylines; then by discussing a Free Speech Award-winning film from our Free Speech Film Festival’s collection, as they gain agency, confidence, and self-mastery.
Graduating students are encouraged to act on what they have learned, and participate in our Free Speech Blog by submitting their written posts, plus short videos on “What Does Free Speech Mean to Me?” to our social media editors. They receive a Certificate of Completion that allows them access to our film archives, subscriptions to our newsletter, and discounts on in-person and online events. If they are enrolled in a university, graduates of Make History Every Day! may apply to American INSIGHT’s Internship Program and receive semester credits.
What Our Students Say
“I’ve taken the Make History Every Day course and I truly believe that it is the start of something really beautiful. I think that people who take the course will leave the course with more agency and more voice and feel more comfortable learning how to spread their knowledge to the outside world, whether it’s through writing, social media, or getting involved in their community. And I look forward to using the tools that I learned through the course in my everyday life as well.”
—Kaylyn Stewart, Pennsylvania, United States
“One of the things that the course brings up, and it’s extremely necessary, is to make you actually reflect on many things. So not only about how you feel about yourself, but how you talk to others, how you can communicate, give your message to others. It makes you think a lot about who you are and why do you do the things you do, if there’s anything you should change about how you communicate.”
—Diana Amaral, Brazil
“The course is about free speech, but there’s the link with all the filmmakers and being able to assess and evaluate and judge how other people are putting their message out through film. And I think that just being able to judge and assess, but then also critique it face-to-face and talk to people and be able to put your opinion out there.”
—Carina Beenessere, United Kingdom
