War, pollution, boys v. girls: You name it, teen videos address it
Danielle Peterson is quoted in this story about a recent youth film festival co-sponsored by the Center for Democracy and Citizenship.
Danielle Peterson, who works at the University of Minnesota’s Center for Democracy and Citizenship, worked closely with the Hope Community Group. She said that video is a powerful medium for youth to tell their stories. “I’ve been working with youth programs for five years now, and it’s taken me a long time to realize that the youth always want to do videos,” Peterson said. “So we should support that and uplift it.”
