AMES -- Peer Perspectives

... draws from the experiences and knowledge of culturally diverse youth to create educational resources that speak to youth about racism, homophobia, and self-empowerment. All workshops integrate media, dialogue and the arts to help young people develop skills for challenging discrimination and violence in their lives.

Anti-Racism / Anti- Homophobia Workshops are fun, creative and directed towards the empowerment of individuals and communities of youth for actively supporting each other with these issues. (1-2 hrs)

We also offer a Workshop Series using theater, movement, writing, spoken word and other empowering creative activities to deepen media analysis and conflict intervention.

Train the Trainer workshops for educators and youth workers are also available.

All Peer Perspectives workshops can be tailored to suit the needs and interests of your group or classroom.
