Overview

In this one-day workshop, participants will be guided through the process of creating a comprehensive, skills-based Health & Wellbeing curriculum that can be vertically aligned from K-12 and adapted to work alongside host country mandates, community values, and within a variety of curricular frameworks. Participants will leave with ready-to-go resources, projects, and unit plans for a culturally responsive approach to Health and SEL that meets the unique needs of today’s international youth. Topics covered will include sexual health, media literacy, substance abuse prevention, mental well-being, and more.
