Events

Knowing who we are, the way we view our experiences and how we impact others provides students with a powerful set of skills and resources to create behaviors that are fair, inclusive and culturally appropriate. Building on the developmental process of sessions 1 and 2, this project session focuses on Conceptualising the Other (Roffey, 2010) and aims to guide students through the process of labeling based on judgement. Students will examine the kinds of words used to label themselves and others, calling attention to the positive and negative emotional impact.

Self-awareness provides a consistent platform for investigating the world and how it relates to our experiences when interacting with others. Based on the 4 C’s of 21st century learning, this project session supports students in distinguishing varied perspectives through critical thinking skills within their peer relationships. Students will learn about social awareness as a means to develop cultural sensitivity by comparing and contrasting their own perspectives with others, led by a series of critical thought practices including Didactic Questioning and the Socratic Method.
