The news and the internet seem flooded with stories of negativity. Stories that generate feelings of fear and hopelessness. However, there is an opportunity here – especially right now. An opportunity to be inspired and to inspire other teens. It starts with each one of us.
Join this session to learn about the power of positive storytelling. We’ll share examples of positive news stories about real everyday tweens/teens overcoming challenges and making a difference. Through learning about the hero’s journey of storytelling, you’ll learn how to write your own short story where you are the main character, describing a time you overcame a challenge, reached a goal or made a change in your own life.
