WE HAVE A THEME FOR THE EVENT!
As decided by the youth on the planning committee, this years theme will officially be:
SPEAK EASY: Healthy Communication in Our Community.
There are four focus areas under this theme:
1. What is being communicated to us and how to we decipher it so it is not a detriment to our growth (Clear Channel, BET, Advertising - media)?
2. How do we communicate with each other (conflict resolution between peers, families, elders)?
3. How do we communicate ourselves (public speaking, art, music, non-verbal communication)?
4. How do we communicate with authority (police, administration, legislators) safely and efficiently so we can create changes we want to see in our communities?
Big ups to Jacob for hooking up the name and much respect to the youth who brought it all together! Nice work guys!
