Creating Community: Appreciating Differences
Drawing on the
power of contemporary folk music, Cyd sings true songs about young people's
experiences and solicits discussion drawn from feelings and issues in the songs.
In a small group forum, students talk honestly about how they treat each other -
about friendship, popularity, status, and the pressures to fit in. Cyd
encourages students to share and develop strategies for taking a stand for
themselves and others to create a more safe and respectful community.
