Learn from expert and youth speakers and panelists
As part of Light of Learning Programme, youth co-ordinators Jessica Franey and Naomi Amayaevbo lead a fascinating and engaging event on the topic of Changing your mindset towards positive thinking.
The event was held at Peter Clark Hall, University of Guelph in affiliation with The African Student Association.
The event began with breakout group discussions focused on the following questions:
Youth shared their challenges and solutions they apply to challenging situations.
We had raffles and kahoot contests to reward youth participants for their engagement and passion at the event.
An intuitive meditation demonstration was given to give youth another tool to help maintain their positivity in their lives.
Srinivas Arka, founder Centre for Conscious Awareness (CCA) Worldwide charities, shared a video addressing youth questions on: How to be actively be positive in challenging circumstances.
Local Guelph musician, Valentyn Zadoianov gave beautiful acoustic guitar performances to brighten up the event.
We enjoyed a delicious pizza party to conclude the event.
