A Lot of Different Flowers Make a Bouquet

In honor of MLK Day, this 2-hour workshop centers around the appreciation and acceptance of diversity. For children, it is easy to appreciate those who like what they like, dress how they dress and think how they think. The real challenge children face is finding value and being inclusive of those who are different or with whom they disagree.

Through colorful stories, discussions and activities, this workshop will help children understand that everyone should feel seen, valued and respected for who they are, and develop the mantra “I will accept you even if I don't agree with you”. When children are able to accept others and celebrate diversity, they develop more meaningful relationships and experience greater connections. Diversity and acceptance also help children practice empathy, making them better learners as they are able to understand situations from multiple perspectives.
