Empower youth with their very own positive project!
The Pink Shirt Project empowers youth to conceive of and implement positive projects in their schools and/or communities. Based on the ideals embodied by Pink Shirt Day, this program also promotes kindness, diversity and inclusion.
How it works: Facilitators (teachers, counsellors, etc) review the project goals and facilitator guide, and each student receives a manual that guides students through a five-step process to work cooperatively and brainstorm solutions to issues relevant to them.
The facilitator helps students with the following steps:
- Youth reflect on inclusion, cooperation, diversity and kindness.
- Participants then work together in a creative process to develop unique solutions that meet challenges or issues in their schools and communities.
- Groups decide on a topic and develop a plan to address the topic.
- Youth implement their project, with guidance by the facilitator.
Through the Pink Shirt Project, youth across Canada are being motivated to design and implement positive projects that make a difference!
The benefits are many. Not only will these projects help make your community kinder, youth will have a feeling of accomplishment for their work, and be more likely to engage in actions that positively impact their surroundings. Contact us to learn more.
