Nuf Said
Nuf Said is one of ten youth-produced media projects included in CYVN’s Chicago Youth Interactive, a public education and civic engagement project made possible by a 2011 grant from the Chicago Instructional Technology Foundation. Chicago Youth Interactive aims to bring youth-created stories, documentaries, and media products to students and teachers in the Chicago Public School system.
The purpose of Nuf Said is to gather data and create multimedia products that examine how the economic crisis has impacted youth in the city of Chicago. The video above is one example of a Nuf Said production. You can browse more videos at the project website using the Youth Media Browser.
