Through our programs participants:

Empowering Student Voice
Our Empowering Student Voice Program is designed to support students in creating and implementing sustainable initiatives for safer and more inclusive schools. Harmony Movement facilitators will work with a group of students to formulate a concrete action plan and implementation strategy to set their initiative into motion.
This program includes:
- Identifying the issues to be addressed
- Providing students with a space to share their experiences of the school community
- Reviewing what resources are required and are already available
- Planning the steps involved in taking action
- Outlining the distribution of tasks and responsibilities
The action planning program is followed by up to eight hours of virtual consultation and implementation support.
