This project was made by me and other 3 students.

It is a video project which tells the story of non-teaching NYUAD staff through one-on-one interviews with them by capturing their sense of belonging in the campus community.

For this project, we decided to create a video based on option 1 out of the four options we were given for the assignment. This video option aims to tell a story about a specific location and the characters who visit or live there. As a group, the first location that came to our minds was our NYU Abu Dhabi campus. Therefore, we chose this location and decided to tell a story that revolves around it and its community.

The intention of this video is to give the opportunity to these workers to share their personal and valuable views on the NYUAD community and their sense of belonging there. The main concept of this video is to effectively share and draw attention to the contributions of these individuals who work in the shadows to make our campus lively and friendly. The video serves to foster a stronger feeling of gratitude, respect, and understanding for these campus employees who play a significant role in making NYUAD a special place to be a part of.

Through this video and website, our goal is to highlight the themes of diversity, inclusion, and belonging. Immersing the viewers and establishing a connection with the video’s story is the experience we want our audience to achieve. By sharing the voices of these NYUAD employees we strive to create a meaningful, engaging, and thought-provoking experience for our audiences.
