TVbyGIRLS partners with
girls through:
- Media
workshops
- Visual
literacy curriculum
- Individual
mentoring
- Development
of a weekly national television series
We
believe the best way to combat destructive media
images is to create work that explores diverse
ideas inspired by girls experiences. The adults
behind TVbyGIRLS are media professionals whose
experience includes over two decades of publishing
nationally acclaimed magazines for girls (New Moon),
producing Emmy award-winning TV and film programs,
and developing innovative youth leadership models.
Since
2004, TVbyGIRLS has worked with 11 amazing
girls and young women. These CORE GIRLS have been creating
video work expanding the vitality of images
about girls and women.Through individualized mentoring
relationships we encourage the development
of self-expression, critical thinking and building of
skills to plan the National Television series. These
CORE GIRLS will be the Editorial staff, responsible
for making the content decisions for the show.
Over
the past year they’ve explored issues around:
- Girl
culture
- Adolescent
changes
- Stereotypes
- Leadership
traits
- Women in political office
Their
creations screened at the Minnesota Institute of Arts:
Art of Democracy Exhibit, MCP Minnesota Girl Culture
Exhibit, the Walker Art Center’s: Girls in the
Director’s Chair and in February they were featured
in Women’s Business Minnesota magazine. |
