My Project

My students project aims to reduce social isolation among students by providing conversation starter cards, kinder chocolate treats, and coffee sleeves decorated with inspirational messages.

By creating opportunities for students to engage in meaningful conversations and spread kindness, we hope to foster a more inclusive and supportive school environment.

Encourage Social Interaction: Student leaders will reduce social isolation in school use Talking Points Conversation cards (Teen Talk, Small Talk, Teams Talk, Resilience, and Support) to help all students initiate discussions and make new friends.

Promote Kindness: Distribute kinder chocolate treats as a sweet incentive for students to practice kindness and participate in the table topics Talking Points Conversations.

Inspire Creativity: Allow students to decorate coffee sleeves with positive messages that can be shared within the school community.
