Qaujisaut (To See, To Find Out):
This program was mainly directed toward Inuit youth, facing hard choices -
caught between two cultures. It is entertaining, fast and fun. Up and coming
young musical talent was promoted on Qaujisaut. Qaujisaut taught young
people important life skills as well as touching on timely health issues and
covering stories important to youth. Qaujisaut was interactive - some had
contest segments and a write-in/email segment. Qaujisaut was a half-hour
program for the 13 to 15 year old age group. Qaujisaut was produced in Iqaluit
with segments also being provided by our other centres.
