The period from 1967 to 1973 was one of increasing activity in rural Newfoundland for the Extension Services under the leadership of its second director, Donald Snowden qv. In 1967 a Film Unit was established with the assistance of the National Film Board of Canada. Extension's Film Unit pioneered a technique of community involvement known as the 'Fogo Process," which was followed in several countries. The Centre for the Development of Community Initiatives began operations in 1973, offering a multi-disciplinary degree in community and development studies.

MEDIA SECTION
The Media Section is divided into two units which, in addition to initiating programmes on its own, act as service units for the whole of Extension Services.
The Film Unit provides a variety of programmes related to resource and community development within Newfoundland and Labrador, as well as producing documentary films for the University which may be utilized in development and social research.

The Video Unit, utilizing videotape recording equipment and operation primarily through Community Learning Centres, provides tools for communities, organizations and individuals to establish and improve communication, the flow of information and relationships between themselves and outside organizations or agencies.
