This 60-90 minute presentation includes screenings of short films and facilitated discussion. Our trained facilitators focus on opening up conversation, positive representation, and fostering a safer space for students to ask questions without judgment. This presentation is typically geared towards younger students from Grades 5-8.
Film Screening & Discussion
