Bridge Conference 2018

Storytelling is a powerful tool for increasing the self-esteem of young people! Whether it’s through journaling, spoken stories, or rap songs, discovering one’s own voice is the KEY TO DEVELOPING SELF-ESTEEM in young people. Young people are overloaded and bombarded with technology. The art of writing by hand is fading. This unique, lively, interactive session that will help educators learn how to inspire kids to find and explore their “own voice"! We share immediately-applicable activities that are sure to engage and uplift students. Participants will discuss how writing, public speaking, collaboration, creativity and communication are vital to the development of the whole child, beyond what is measurable by a test score.
