PBS is requesting support for the creation of a Crash Course Survey of World Religions, a 24-episode series that will be distributed on one of the most popular education channels on YouTube. Crash Course, the flagship channel in the PBS Digital Studios network, has been a trailblazer in making trusted humanities content available freely online for over a decade.
This series will provide viewers with an accurate and comprehensive introduction to world religions, with the intent of fostering deeper religious literacy through a widely accessed platform. Using engaging media that expands traditional textbooks, this course will leverage the proven ability of the Crash Course and PBS brands and platform to reach a large audience of students, teachers, and lifelong learners.
