You can’t turn off the world; so teach girls to read it and read it well with the help of Project Girl!

WHAT: This summer, visit Intermedia Arts in Minneapolis to experience Project Girl, the nationally touring visual arts exhibition and series of hands-on art-based workshops designed to defend adolescent girls from the harmful effects of media messages. Media literacy is practiced and perfected through engaging interactive activities and high impact art projects.

A series of summer Intermedia Arts workshops will be offered for adolescent girls featuring the Project Girl media literacy curriculum. A Project Girl art-based media literacy curriculum training opportunity will also be made available for educators, parents, artists, activists, policy makers, girl group leaders, and concerned individuals who wish to become better equipped to deal with the significant challenges resulting from the transformation of children into America’s number one marketing demographic.

Advise and Dissent: Sparkle Jones

By Twin Cities teens , ThreeSixty

What would you like to tell president-elect Barack Obama? Advise and Dissent features opinions on what the new president should be thinking and doing. This opinion came from Your Turn — Teens advise the next president on what youth need.

Abortion: I believe taking away a woman’s right to abortion is taking away her freedom. There are diverse reasons why abortion is the best option. There may be rape; few people want a reminder of a traumatic event. There may also be financial issues; many women just can’t afford children. Additionally, women with weak emotional states frequently turn to alcohol and drugs and this dependency leads to abuse and/or neglect of her kids … If a woman makes this call, or wants the option to make this call, why do people pass judgment? Hard decisions are based on beliefs and if you make a decision based on what you believe, then everyone should both accept and respect your decision. — Sparkle Jones, 17, Humboldt High School MORE »
