In an effort to reduce high rates of unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease, CHN's Teens P.A.C.T. program embarked on a 16-month innovative media project targeting youth throughout New York City.
We engaged the diverse talents of Teen P.A.C.T.'s Peer Educators to complete every aspect of the project, from conducting street interviews to creating an original soundtrack. Utilizing a youth development approach, Peer Educators were trained in comprehensive sexuality education and theatre improvisation techniques. This extraordinary group's efforts culminated with the production of four intensely interactive short films. Scroll down to read about each film and watch the trailers.
