1HOOD MEDIA

1HOOD Media is a tool to help young people critically analyze messages, broaden their experience of media, and develop creative skills in creating their own media messages. Media literacy is a means of educating young people on the effects of media societal perception, and more specifically, on how it shapes the way young people view "reality".  We explore the constant bombardment of media images and how these images shape youth perception of self, parents, community, and the world.  We educate  young people on the fallacies involved in the utilization of certain images and how an incorrect, warped perception of themselves is formed, as well as, how to counteract the effects.
