What is Next Step?

Next Step is a highly experiential workshop that examines a new philosophy for stopping teen violence and isolation; a compassionate approach to ending social oppression in schools, families and communities; and an action-based model for socio-emotional learning. Participants receive an in-depth analysis of the theory and practice behind Challenge Day as they dive deeper into the issues it addresses, including youth violence, racism, teasing, stereotypes, gender roles, social oppression and the abuse of tobacco, drugs and alcohol. Participants gain a deeper understanding of social oppression and how it affects each person individually, and have the opportunity to explore and heal their own experiences of social oppression. As a result, they become better resources to their community, able to more effectively implement and sustain the practices and principles of Challenge Day in their everyday lives.
