Tincan Media for Education & Community Development

Local nonprofit organization Tincan uses information technology and interactive media for education and community development.

July 30 2011 the Spokane Black Agenda Summit breakout group on Communication and Culture expressed an interest in developing better communication for the African American community through the use of all forms of media including online forums, visual media and community TV. Tincan is there to provide the skills necessary to do this.

Don’t ask what Obama has done for you, ask what we have done since Obama has been elected. Let us gather skills and work on solutions. Visit the Tincan website to see what workshops are coming up:   tincan.org
