What We Do
We make films that create change
Since 1978, GroundSpark (formerly Women's Educational Media) has produced and distributed films, educational resources and campaigns on issues ranging from environmental concerns to affordable housing to preventing prejudice.
Our new name, GroundSpark, communicates the initiative, energy, activism, and vibrant personality of our organization and what we set out to accomplish. It reflects our commitment to fundamental change, our partnerships with communities, and the tremendous momentum set in motion by our campaigns.
We are passionate about our mission of creating visionary films and dynamic educational campaigns that move individuals and communities to take action for a more just world.
Working closely with educators, activists, national and local organizations, we ensure that our films are used to inspire meaningful social change. Much of this work focuses on creating schools and communities that are safe for all children. GroundSpark’s landmark program, The Respect For All Project, seeks to do just that.
The Respect For All Project provides youth and the adults who guide their development the tools they need to engage in age-appropriate discussions about human difference, preventing prejudice and building caring communities.
The project offers a comprehensive set of resources for educators and youth-service providers, including award-winning documentary films, high-quality curriculum guides, and a comprehensive workshop series for professionals and community members.
GroundSpark’s films and educational programs have addressed a variety of social issues including:
- Bullying and Name-Calling
- Education and Teaching
- Education and Technology
- Family Life in America
- Gender
- Housing and Community Development
- Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender
- Nuclear Weapons and the Environment
