Description

DO YOU addresses youth violence (dating and sexual violence, sexual harassment, and bullying) by confronting its root causes and enhancing protective factors, (also referred to as “building resilience”), to promote positive development and healthy relationships. The target age for this campaign is 13-16 years old.

The UnCurriculum (the facilitator’s guide for DO YOU) activates primary prevention principles through creative expression to create a strategy to stop violence before it starts. Facilitators must complete DO YOU Certification Training in order to receive the UnCurriculum.

DO YOU helps teens:
• Build compassion;
• Learn to model fairness and equality;
• Adapt media literacy tools to analyze media messages;
• Learn about the four components to healthy sexuality, and;
• Master two primary communication skills: active listening and assertiveness.

This happens in 2 phases…

DO YOU
Teens create a ‘zine about their own cultural backgrounds, values, experiences and goals over the course of 10 sessions. Sessions relate to the goals above and open with interactive activities and end in creative expression.

DO SOMETHING
After completing 10 sessions, teens devise and implement a community-based project that helps their community and enhances their sense of value and belonging in the community.

DO YOU structure:
