Straight Talk for Madina Youth
In this workshop the Muslim Youth are being provided a venue where they can share what they are facing in the current environment. Areas of focus in this first workshop are as follows:
1) Talk about self-esteem, to understand what it is and how it is impacted. At the beginning of this workshop the audience will take a self-esteem survey. This survey will help ISB understand how the Muslim Youth fare when it comes to self-esteem in the different communities.
2) Developing friends and being an influencer. The concepts here come from Dale Carnegie's book, "How to Win Friends and Influence People." The workshops go over the 6 concepts that the youth can do to develop their friendship and be a positive influencer.
3) Discuss how the Islamic faith teaches Muslims to be tolerant of other faiths and backgrouns showing specific examples. This is to show the youth that the stereotypes and negative comments are often misconceptions.
4) Role-playing scenarios. Here, the audience will be split into different groups where they will be assigned a role-play (a topic related to maintaining your identity). The objective is to hear how the youth would respond to those scenarios and coach them on the optimal way to handle the situation (based on what was discussed in the workshop).
At the end of the Youth Workshop the audience should walk away with a toolkit on how to maintain their identity as well as enable the youth in becoming a positive influencer in their respective social circles. External Event Url
