Waffles (8-10 year olds): Our Families in the Media: Youth will start by learning about what is true/false in the media and how media can have a both negative and positive impact on our families. They will be given the chance to analyze different videos that they may be exposed to. They will then have the option to create their own positive social media artifacts. Gender Spectrum: In this workshop, youth will get a basic understanding of gender 101 and get to think about the diversity of gender expression, gender identity, outward presentation and how this intersects with physical and emotional attraction.
Crew (11-13 year olds): Intersectionality & Allyship: In COLAGE we often talk about what we have in common, but we also have a lot of things that make us different from each other! This workshop gives COLAGErs a space to talk about their differences with people who already share one identity with them. In this workshop we will explore the different aspects of allyship and intersectionality, and their effects on our life.
High School (14-18 year olds): Self Care & Community Care: In this workshop, we will define mental health and wellness, familiarize youth with the concepts of self care and community care, share about what these look like in our own lives and communities, and do a listening exercise to practice non judgemental listening as community care. Part of the objective is to talk about mental health and wellness in a less individualized way, and connect mental health and community care to current events and social justice.
