Monday Lyricism Club Week 4: Sharing your Experiences and Preferences

Monday Lyricism Club Week 4: Sharing your Experiences and Preferences

Free for youth ages 12-18

Program Description:

With Hip-Hop culture taking a change in direction as of late, it’s important to set boundaries in our environments. Where we choose to focus our energy and who we choose to share it with can have a huge impact on the experiences we have, for example; the new styles of Hip Hop that glorify drugs, disrespect & disregard & the impact it leaves on young listeners.  
We will begin the program with a sharing circle on our vulnerabilities, encouraging one another to face and appreciate our weaknesses and learn how we can grow from the experiences. Youth will get into pairs and practice acknowledging their discomforts and voicing their desires for personal space. Each individual will discover more of their preferences using the Big 5 test, which will help them identify where their discomforts lie and better understand their boundaries. Knowing our boundaries can better prepare us for what we share, and want to write about, and provide focus to what we want the world to know.
