Campus Screenings

 

Organize a RENEWAL Screening Event on Your Campus

Across the country, schools are discovering that RENEWAL can be a powerful tool for igniting environmental action -- while also encouraging a broad multi-faith perspective about care for the Earth.

By holding a special RENEWAL screening/discussion event at your school, you can inspire students to discover the religious-environmental movement and become active for the planet.

The RENEWAL Project is inviting campus religious organizations such as Hillel, Intervarsity, the Cardinal Newman Society, and others, to host special screenings at their schools. Groups can screen the entire 90-minute documentary or simply choose just one or more of the film’s eight stories for shorter programs. RENEWAL, followed with a student-faculty discussion, makes a perfect combination for a powerful event.

To help you organize a successful screening event at your school, the RENEWAL Project is offering: unlimited screening rights for RENEWAL; a complete Screening Package (press materials, educational screening guide, posters, and more); two copies of the DVD that your organization is encouraged to keep in your school’s library for educational use and future screenings; and a 20% student discount coupon for private home use DVDs.  You are also permitted to use the event as a fundraiser, if you so wish.

A Public Performance Rights Fee of $250, entitles you to unlimited campus screenings as well as all of the support materials listed above.

To explore screening options for your school, please contact the Screening Coordinator at renewalcampusscreenings@gmail.com

You may also want to consider these helpful ideas from other schools:

  • Collaborate with other religious and spiritual groups to make the screening a truly interfaith event
  • Work with your environmental science program or green student organizations to use RENEWAL to highlight sustainable living by celebrating holidays, either religious (St Francis Day, Tu B'Shevat, etc) or secular (Earth Day).
  • Ask your Student Activities director to acquire Renewal as an event that would interest and benefit all of your school’s student body
  • Request Renewal for your school's library collection


A reminder: April 22, 2010 is the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day!
You may want to keep that in mind for a great programming opportunity.
