Media Interactive: This program examines various forms of media, including movies/film, television, radio, internet and print in order to understand its impact on a teenager’s identity and self-perspective. Analysis and reflection on these types of media will facilitate discussion of stereotypes, oppression, peer pressure and other related issues. Videography and photography will be a component of this program.

Music Interactive: This program examines various forms of music and lyrics and relates what youth are listening to as a means of interpreting and expressing their emotions.  Youth will be given the opportunity to write their own lyrics, engage in self and group analysis and share their creativity with one another.
