Let’s Talk About It
The Program for Public Discourse has partnered with the Kidzu Children's Museum for a new event series. “Let’s Talk About It” is a series of sessions designed to explore difficult topics and provide tools to families and children in grades 2-5 to practice and promote civil discourse in the next generation. This program is free to the public, but registration is required.
Hard conversations about difficult topics can lead to hard and difficult feelings. Kidzu is teaming up with Breaking Taboo to arm your family with the tools needed to work through challenging emotions, and to ‘smooth out’ situations where a conversation has already digressed into troubling territory. Get hands-on and proactive as we work though tricky topics around feelings and mental health. Breaking Taboo is a non-profit with a mission of bolstering education and eradicating taboos around mental health and suicide prevention.
Participants have free access to play at Kidzu during the program.
Participants will receive a free return visit to Kidzu and coupons for Alfredo’s Pizza Villa. Those who attend all five sessions will receive a badge and special gift!
Presented in coordination with the East Chapel Hill High School Civil Discourse project and made possible with support from NC Humanities.
