Together We’re Better
Written by: Alana
On Friday April 24th, a few intermediate students from Greensborough Public School
had the opportunity to attend a conference called “Together We’re Better” with
one of our 7th grade teachers, Mrs. Kanhai. This
conference addressed awareness about anti-racism, human rights issues and many
conflicts we face today. The attendees had the opportunity to:
- promote
anti-racism
- recognize
issues and situations related to race relations
- discover
effective strategies for dealing with conflicts
- develop
communication and problem solving skills
- strengthen
the levels of trust, empathy, and positive feelings for others
- understand
that all Canadians have a right to full participation in our society today
Some of the interactive workshops that the students participated in examined
stereotypes and allowed students to explore and deconstruct messages in society
and the media.
Overall, it was a fantastic opportunity for our students. Our school
would love to attend this conference again next year!
