Emerging Trends in Youth Media, Youth Development, and Social Change

Last month, Global Action Project, People’s Production House/Radio Rootz and Youth Rights Media held a panel event at the Surdna Foundation regarding the cutting-edge potential of social justice-focused youth media to scale the impacts of youth development and youth organizing. They were amazed by the turnout and have issued a summary of key presentation points (please see the attached Word document).

Their purpose in doing the briefing, and in continuing the dialogue, is to critically explore innovative practices that can inform a cross-section of fields to benefit young people using art and strategy to make serious change.

In addition, if you would like a copy of “Investing in Youth Media: A Guide for Grantmakers,” produced by Open Society Institute and distributed by Grantmakers in Film and Electronic Media, please feel free to request one from Meghan McDermott, Executive Director at Global Action Project.
