CTRL + E is a student-run project, which will take place on December 6, 2017 in Conrod’s from 3pm to 6pm.

In Cincom, this semester’s Communications Design and Practice class will be holding an event comprised of student designed and developed projects aimed at raising awareness about living deliberately. This involves making deliberate choices about health, diet, consumption and use of media. CTRL+E projects include the following:

Dawson Eats, animated by Eric Neilson, Julien Levesque, Vicky Mongiovi, Joshua Bolofer, Janice Tang, Nanor Ani Froundjian is an initiative aimed at encouraging people to learn how to cook for themselves while being eco-conscious and promoting the “slow food” movement.

In the Health Hub, animated by Maera St-Jean-Provencher, Amanda Khabie, Deanna Todisco, students will focus on healthy eating while on the run. “In today’s fast paced world, it’s easy to forget about one’s health. Our project focuses on demonstrating to students and teachers the benefits of living a healthier lifestyle. We have quick and easy tips promoting physical well-being and better eating habits.”

In Safe Space, Amanda Wan and William Bédard introduce students to a website that they can visit to find comfort and aid when feeling the stress and strain of student life. Safe Space is also designed to break the stigma on mental health.

Ex-Vintage, animated by AÏsha Reimann, Hannah Arib, Imani Hadjem, Juliette Lespérence, Rosalie Pertin, Will Henderson is a clothing swap created by Dawson students for Dawson students. The goal is to hold an event aimed at not only helping students save money on clothing, but also reducing monetary support for large, unethical, fast-fashion clothing companies.

iExperiment animated by Fabio Gonzalez-Calabrese explores deliberate uses of media. In today’s modern society, education is making students feel overloaded due to many essays, assignments and projects that they must do. Technology is said to help students with their studies, so why don’t we dive in and see if that’s the case?”

Blurred Lines animated by Justin Aquino is about raising awareness about young people driving under the influence. The project will be realized through personal testimonials. It also aims to launch a crowd-sourced service where students can find a safe ride if they have been drinking and cannot drive.
