Session Overview
This session also gives youth an opportunity to be creative. Research has shown that exploring diverse forms of communication helps people process information and build understanding across perspectives. Sometimes an old idea can become new if the presentation is different. Encourage youth to identify communication methods that align with their interests and abilities.
