Belonging & Friendship Resources
The PBS Utah Education team teamed up with the I.J. & Jeanné Wagner Jewish Community Center after-school program, Club J, for a 6-week workshop series centered around the theme of Friendship and Belonging. The workshops provided a unique opportunity for 70 children and 6 teachers to engage in discussions and activities related to these critical topics. Over the course of the workshops, the team utilized the educational content from the PBS KIDS series "Let's Talk About" to facilitate conversations that encouraged children to share their perspectives and experiences related to friendship and belonging.
As a culmination of the series, two locally produced videos were created featuring the participants answering insightful questions about friendship and belonging. These videos not only captured the unique voices of the children but also served as powerful educational resources for viewers in Utah and beyond. In addition to the videos, the participants also collaborated on a unique art project called the "belonging bench," which symbolized the inclusive and supportive community that was cultivated throughout the workshop series.
