VPT Online: Public Square: Teens in Action

PUBLIC SQUARE is a VPT initiative addressing issues of concern to Vermonters. Mixing documentary footage, thoughtful insight, in-depth panel discussions and more, we’ll keep you informed about local events and issues that affect your lives.

Teens in Action

Wed., May 24, 8 pm

This Public Square special is devoted to Vermont teens — their joys and passions, successes and challenges. Join host Fran Stoddard and a panel of teens from around the state to pursue these questions and more.

Short films about The Voices Project and What About Teens?, a year-long campaign that brought adults and teens together to discuss issues of importance to young people and brainstorm potential policy solutions, will be shown.

Public Square's "Teens in Action" is part of a full evening of broadcasting on VPT about teens (Wed., May 24, 7:30-11 pm). The finale of the evening will be the television broadcast of The Voices Project.

A Week-Long Multimedia Event
This special evening is also part of a week-long multimedia event, which includes public television, public radio, online chat rooms and forums, and publication of teens' writing in the newspaper. A free House Party Kit, including games, discussion topics and writing prompts, is available for order.
