Project
description:
Our goal is to educate youth (ages 7-13) about anti-violence in a
format they can comprehend, we decided to use an activity booklet. We
also want to incorporate alternatives to violence while making it fun
and enjoyable.
Objectives of the
Project:
- Raise awareness and introduce the different types of violence
for youth at a younger age.
- By empowering the youth at such an impressionable age it will
educate them to help develop their own ideas about anti-violence.
- To reduce the level of violence youth are exposed to; if they know
how to avoid conflict they will be stronger and more confident.
- Promote anti-violence in a fun yet educational way, using
crosswords, word searches, cryptoquotes and other activities that
encourage youth to learn and think positively.
Impact of
Project:
- Empowered youth will help to create a stronger and more caring
community.
- Create opportunities for youth to use their time more
constructively and effectively, rather than resorting to
violence.
- An incentive for youth to become positive role models and peers in
their own communities.
- If we can change at least one person's way of thinking and prevent
them from turning to violence we will know that we are working for a
good cause.
