This full-day multimedia festival is designed to encourage girls to build confidence and learn how to express themselves creatively through media, art, culture and technology. With hands-on media workshops, teens will learn about self-expression through writing, photography, audio production, poetry and film-making. Inspiring guest speakers will help El Paso girls learn about issues young girls face and discover real solutions on how to overcome challenges. An information fair will highlight community groups and teen resources. A fashion show featuring Dillard’s clothing along with live performances will be fun entertainment for all attendees!
