Workshop Topics
Healthy Relationships
We all have unique relationships in our lives, but are they healthy ones? What are the key ingredients to healthy relationships and how do we navigate them in a digital world?
Resilience
What is resilience? How can we recover from setbacks and forge ahead? Participants and facilitators will explore how to handle challenges and cope with difficulties.
Self-Esteem & Body Positivity
Do self-esteem and body positivity go hand in hand? Participants and facilitators will explore positive and healthy affirmations, strategies to promote healthy self-esteem and the impact of social media.
Growth Mindsets
Participants and facilitators will travel through the process of developing and sustaining a growth mindset. How can we embrace successes and mistakes to support future decision-making and problem solving?
Passion Project
What is the Passion Project?
The Passion Project for this cohort will be the creation of a mini newsletter. Participants will submit one personal piece of work to share with the cohort and youth community.
Using mediums of their choice (writing, drawing, photography, etc.), participants will contribute anything that they feel passionate about as it relates to their experiences with the program, what they learned, and what matters to them and their intersecting identities.
A template and list of topics will be developed to help participants get started on this Passion Project. Participants are encouraged to be as creative as they like with their piece of work!
Youth must complete the Passion Project to receive the honorarium.
