Isabel Fernandez- Program Coordinator, Project: Think Different
What is Project: Think Different?
Project: Think Different is an empowerment media nonprofit organization
that uses popular culture to inspire people to think differently about
their ability to create positive change in their lives, community and
society at large.
What is Who’s Next? Witness, Perpetrator, Survivor Conference
on Girls and Violence?
Who’s Next? Witness, Perpetrator, Survivor was an interactive
youth lead conference organized by Project: Think Different and The Freedom
House to give teenage girls of color an up close and very personal look
at the alarming increase in their roles as perpetrators, victims and
witnesses to violent crime in Boston.
What set your event apart from other violence prevention initiatives?
This was an interactive, youth lead conference. Youth peer leaders
paired up with public health and social service experts to lead workshops
that used the arts and creative expression to facilitate the discovery
of solutions.
How were the arts used in the conference?
Workshops spoke to the culture of violence in our society and served
as a wake up call to the urgency of this issue. There was also a call
to action with artistic workshops on rap, poetry, step and others to
create antiviolence messages for the Speak Your Peace Contest. These
winning messages will be recorded as public service announcements.
How can youth find out more about upcoming programs?
