SESSION TOOLS |

Special tools were developed for the Youth Conference session 'Talk Back Live: How to Talk Back to Hate". A series of cartoons were designed depicting different situations of prejudice as it occurs in students' daily lives. The goal of the session was to discuss ways that youth could respond personally to hate comments. The different types of responses that could be made included: |
||||
|
1. hostility/using profanity |

groups and the delegates were asked to consider the questions below.
Groups were then encouraged to discuss ways that youth could respond
to the prejudice. |
