We teach girls to defuse the power of negative media messages by giving strength to girls ideas. In lively, hands-on workshops, girls analyze print and moving media, explore visual metaphors and decode the hidden cultural messages in pictures and sound. TVbyGIRLS workshops are an exciting, hands-on way for girls to explore visual storytelling with the tools of modern media. Media professionals (directors, producers, writers and teachers) work mentoring girls to encourage self-expression and critical thinking skills. Workshops will lead to the development of a national television series with girls as the content decision makers. (or girls as the editorial board). The television series will be a weekly documentary magazine style program, designed to reinforce girls ideas and potential to lead change in the world.
