WHAT TO EXPECT
Topics like bullying and cyberbullying are typically viewed as pretty cringey by school students. Our workshops are designed to break-down this stigma by injecting fun, participatory activities, and honest discussion facilitated by young presenters. We strive to build empathy, self-awareness and resilience by creating spaces where students can safely reflect on past behaviour, explore shared experience and find new ways to foster belonging.
OUR APPROACH
Tackle social issues
We equip students with the skills to navigate (cyber)bullying and online consent, break down prejudice, build inclusion and manage their mental health.
Show-not-tell learning
Through role plays, activities, experiments and interactive discussion, key insights are driven by students and key messages are safely realised through experiential learning.
Strengths-based focus
Our workshops focus on setting up positive norms. We aim to raise students social and self-awareness and create an environment where diversity is celebrated.
Two of the best external facilitators I have heard with secondary students! They kept it real, relatable and engaging. I will be recommending PROJECT ROCKIT to other school schools definitely.
