A gathering of 10 adults (ideally five Fe University adult students and five parents of school-age children) and 8 to 12 high school students, facilitated by Extension Iron County 4-H Youth Development Educator Neil Klemme, the goal of this course is to provide a model for listening to and engaging in meaningful conversations with high school-aged students in a way that validates their concerns.
Each class will consist of three 90-minute sessions during the school day at Hurley High School, with one week between each session. Lunch is included, subsidized by the Iron County Youth Leadership Council!
- Week 1 (March 5): Issue Identification: panel of students and adults brainstorm topics that matter to them. Identify one or two issues to discuss in depth in the next session.
- Week 2 (March 12): Define and discuss feelings on issues previously identified.
- Week 3 (March 19): Resolution: Looking for a common ground.
