Let's gather!

This invitation is for Sources of Strength teams which hold a current license for Secondary Sources of Strength by November 2023. Please invite a local primary care provider to attend one or both of the dates. The primary care providers. like Trusted Adults, should share the qualities of being Positive, Caring and Connected.

Goal: Have an AWEsome gathering.

Learners are invited to:

1) Experience an introduction to the emerging research and science of "Awe," as researched by Dacher Keltner.

2) Explore the associations with Awe and an iconic "MORE Cowbell," skit from Saturday Night Live, 2002.

3) Define Awe within one's self, school culture and community by applying The Wheel (8 Strengths/Protective Factors).

4) Collectively produce a comparative list detailing evidence of obstacles and opportunities of Awe being actualized in self, school culture and community.

5) Experience designing a positive messaging campaign - "More Cowbell. More Awe."
