Greater awareness of implications of art media being selected

The project manager and staff learned that they need to be more careful when selecting the art media to use with different populations of youth. For example, they discovered that the use of theater with youth in the gang unit, who are guarded and reluctant to put themselves in vulnerable situations on stage or off, was probably a poor match. A less threatening art form, such as the videography project, might have been better suited for this group of high-risk youth.
