The Breaking Down the Walls program was held at Maple Heights High School on March 18-19. This was a unique opportunity for students and staff to connect, share their stories, and realize...
"It's hard to hate someone whose story you know."
This program creates a safe environment for students to build empathy and understanding through our “play, trust, learn” model. By first helping students laugh together, they start to trust one another, and eventually want to learn from those outside their normal friend group. The assembly, training, and workshops leave everyone with the realization we are truly BETTER TOGETHER!
The workshops include a blend of large group, small group, and 1:1 experiences and provide an opportunity for students to create empathy, build social awareness, and create meaningful relationships with peers outside their traditional friend group.
