The See Different in-school program empowered students by providing them with the knowledge and tools to make meaningful change in their communities. Through a series of ten workshops led by a See Different facilitator, students were guided to explore the concepts of identity, diversity and inclusion, power and privilege, conflict management, peer mediation and allyship. During the second half of the program, students put these skills to work by designing a ‘School-Wide Initiative’, a project or campaign that addressed a diversity and inclusion challenge relevant to their school community.
As of Spring 2017, the See Different in school program was discontinued.
