In this session, Rebecca Wallace-Segall and Michael Alessi from Writopia Lab will explain how to create an uncensored, “open space” in a workshop or school setting. These open spaces promote awareness and empathy in young people and lead to increased literacy in kids and teens from all socio-economic backgrounds. They are emotionally safe spaces that allow kids to be their full selves and encourage young people to process their personal, and sometimes controversial, experiences through their writing to both better understand themselves and their peers. RSVP here.
