DETAILS
We will delve into the theme of Homelessness and the kids will work on passion projects that will make the world a better place. They will choose the specific topics that they want to work on related to homelessness and the actions they want to take to help end it, and we will provide the tools and resources needed to help them achieve their goals.
The possibilities for the actions we can take, and the learning we will do, over the 4 weeks are endless but include such things as: interviewing guest speakers, recording podcasts, making videos, blogging, creating fundraising campaigns, starting petitions, connecting with other organizations around the world, and writing stories.
I will support the children as they guide their own learning. The children will gain confidence and important life skills that will help them become self-motivated changemakers with a life-long love for learning.
LOGISTICS
The program will take place through Zoom. The meeting link will be emailed to participants on the Monday before the program begins.
