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.
