It is our hope, that Project Girl can find the widest possible audience and become a broad-based catalyst for changing the ways youth interpret and respond to popular media advertising and entertainment. Using art as a means to reflect, express, and transform, Project Girl workshops, curriculum, lectures, and traveling art exhibition provide an easy-to-follow and easily adaptable roadmap for educators, young people and girl group leaders to critically examine our contemporary media-based culture and explore key media literacy themes and issues.
