Project Girl Facilitator Training Workshops

Who: Project Girl co-creators Kelly Parks Snider and Jane Bartell facilitate half and full day art based workshop sessions for educators, girl group leaders, girl allies, and concerned parents.

Why: Because it’s essential that girls everywhere become educated, supported, equipped and inspired to be critical consumers of media. Project Girl’s proven arts based approach gets girls asking questions they’ve never heard asked before and gives them critical tools to look at their contemporary media based culture with smarter, more resistant eyes. Project Girl offers Facilitator Training Workshops because we know knowledge is power. And stemming the tide of harmful effects of media messages on the lives of girls requires many, many like minded advocates, allies, and activists who are asking not only “where do we start?” but “if not us, then who?”

What: These half day or full day training workshops are designed to equip group facilitators with the necessary tools to successfully conduct independent Project Girl workshops using Project Girl’s unique arts-based media literacy curriculum. Workshops guide future facilitators through the process of exploring the following topics with adolescent girls:

1) basic media literacy concepts;
2) stereotypes and labeling;
3) body image and the beauty myth;
4) consumerism;
5) real girl power
6) diversity

Participants take part in a unique reflective and expressive art experience, equipping them to replicate this essential component of Project Girl’s arts based curriculum.
