Gentle Heroes is a workshop in 3 parts. It is offered free of charge to downtown agencies working with dads/male car egivers.
\nMen will develop their capacity to explore and share thei r own experiences of being around nurturing gentle heroes (grandfathers\, elders\, community leaders\, teachers\, fathers) using the senses to delve into these gentle stories.
\nStorytelling has been part of our cult ures for millennia\, as entertainment and as a way of sharing knowledge\, building attachment\, and empowerment. Stories help us reflect on and over come our challenges and develop skills like empathy\, gratitude\, and more .
\nThis workshop will develop and enhance our appreciation of diver sity. It will give participants an opportunity and method to communicate their “story”. This is made possible through speaking\, listening\, readin g and writing\, art\, music\, humour\, and role-playing\, providing a lang uage-rich environment for children\, essential for early literacy. Honour ing each family’s culture through storytelling encourages attachment and b onding by giving parents the opportunity to be a significant part of the l iteracy process as a storyteller.
\nDates: Tuesday\ , November 30\, Wednesday\, December 1\, Thursday\, December 2
\nLocation: Online via Zoom (participants will be emailed the login details after registering )
\nCost: Free to Downtown agencies
