Raising Voices: Creating a Safe Space for Girls to Speak Out - Paperback

by Paula Davidoff (Author), Carolyn Hunt (Author)

Raising Voices: Creating a Safe Space for Girls to Speak Out guides the reader through a unique creative process that successfully helps teenage girls discover ways to better understand the issues and overcome obstacles that affect their lives and their communities. The book explains how the authors started and built their own program for girls; gives explicit, step-by-step instructions for organizing and implementing a program for girls; and offers stories and writing examples that illustrate how teaching artists, counselors, and teen participants collaborate to make art and, in the process, strengthen the participants' autonomy and sense of self.
