Description
This presentation and workshop aim to address how we as a society sometimes can choose not to see or do something about exclusionary practices and bullying because it is part of a tradition, and how we through dialog and collaboration can change something you thought was unchangeable.
Through dialogue and collaborative exercises, participants will explore innovative ways to bring people together to make a change. This session will leverage a range of tools; including a specially created film, guided conversation tasks, and techniques for engaging with youth, parents, schools, community,and government. Designed for professionals working in education, youth services, and anti-bullying initiatives, this workshop offers a practical approach to fostering a more respectful and inclusive environment for young people.
Workshop elements:
1. Film screening and reflection: a newly produced film where three former russ (graduated students) shares their story of outsiderness and friendship, followed by a reflective discussion and invite personal insights
2. Interactive dialogue tasks: hands- on exercises and conversation starters designed to promote open, empathetic dialogue
3. Collaborative techniques for inclusive change: training in specific strategies and tools that have been effective in fostering inclusive discussions with youth, parents and other key actors
Goal:
The goal of this presentation and workshop is to equip professionals with practical tools and strategies to challenge exclusionary behaviors, and change traditions together with youths, adults, schools, society and government. Through dialogue and shared understanding we aim to build stronger inclusive school- and community cultures that prevent bullying and promote unity.
