Register Now for the Virtual SPARK Summit Challenging the Sexualization of Girls on Friday, October 22

October 18, 2010 By

“SPARK is both a Summit and a Movement designed to push back against the increasingly sexualized images of girlhood in the media and create room for whole girls and healthy sexuality.  SPARK will engage teen girls to be part of the solution rather than to protect them from the problem.

Both girl activists and adults and are encouraged to register for the Virtual SPARK Summit. The Summit will engage teen girl activists and those adults who work with them to provide the platform for their social change work. There are spaces in the day that will be open to adults who are supporting girl activism, research, policy, and media work.

Virtual Summit:

The virtual summit will be a live, interactive broadcast on the web. Registrants will be engaged live for a full day with the main goings-on at the Summit. Virtual registrants will be able to ask questions of the speakers, interact with other virtual participants, participate in mobile advocacy shout-outs, and lend their voices to the effort to challenge the sexualization of young women and girls on Summit Day and throughout the year.

NOTE: Only one registration is needed per computer for the virtual summit. Feel free to broadcast the Summit to your class, group or organization!”
