In this project, four of the members in Breakthrough Film Club share their thoughts and feelings about music and how music is used as a tool to combat anger, bullying and a means of self expression.Forms of Violence
Jóvenes en Acción, a youth delegation from various cities in Mexico, hosted by WorldChicago produced this short video about different forms of violence they experience in High School.Rid Your Vocabulary Of Retarded
Youth Leadership Council member Nicole Zakheim created this video. She states: My school has had a lot of politically incorrect words banned, but we hadn't covered one that affects a lot of students, including myself. Retarded. I was hearing it way to much in the hallways, and it didn't make sense to me that the same kids who had banned words like "gay" from their vocabulary weren't stopping and thinking about "retarded". Giving a negative connotation to a word that applies to so many people is ignorant and I wanted to make sure that people were aware of what their words meant. I wrote, shot and edited this at my school. The people in the PSA are all students at my school, who all object to the wrong usage of "retarded."
