Workshop Topics
(75-90-minute sessions customized for each group)
Self-expression: “Grab the mic — what do you speak up for?” A session focused on supporting individuals in a group speaking up about a community issue / social justice topic the group is passionate about. Participants will speak-up and make media about their social justice topic. Writing and art options are available for individuals, group media projects can include podcast or video*. Two-part series are recommended where possible.
Self-expression & advocacy: “Your voice – your power” – A session for youth who already know what they are passionate about and want to craft persuasive messages about their topic. Participants will write an op-ed or letter for publication, and/or design social media posts promoting their advocacy agenda.
Journalism & Media trainings – We create custom trainings for teens using the tools of journalism to increase written communications skills, media literacy (solid vs. sketchy sources), interviewing skills, writing strong features and persuasive articles, developing a podcast, and more. One topic per workshop.
