"I loved what was being said! I work at a Girl's school K-8 as a school counselor. I have not been a fan of The Bully Prevention Programs and now I know why. I loved hearing about Hardy Girls Healthy Women and from Lyn Mikel Brown. Thanks for putting on these important webinars!"

Webinar - SPARKing Girls' Activism and Social Change
Thu, 01/05/2012 - 12:18 — admin
Girls today are bombarded with sexualized media messages. People who work with girls may feel like they see these problems everywhere they turn - but what's the solution?
Join us to learn how to engage girls in the solution through activism and social change. In this webinar, Lyn Mikel Brown, EdD will critically examine popular ad campaigns and describe marketing strategies as she explores the cooptation of girl power and the sexualization of girls in media.
Dr. Brown will discuss the importance of engaging girls in creative forceful reactions to such media messages and offer tools and strategies to scaffold girls’ activism. She will introduce you to a series of online, free media activism SPARKits that you can do with the teen girls in your life. Learn how girls involved in Hardy Girls' online project, Powered by Girl, and the SPARK (Sexualization Protest: Action, Resistance, Knowledge) movement are generating alternative forms of media and coordinating actions online and on the ground to push back on sexism and sexualization. This webinar is offered in collaboration with SPARK.
