Examples for Sisterhood Workshop

[KD4Me]

I am so glad that I posted this question. It has shown me that this presentation, in the way that originally conceived it, could go very differently than I expected.

In light of this feedback, I think that I will change the format and instead of presenting these scenarios, talk more about how to treat each other kindly, be there for each other, etc., and how we can do that, and perhaps use the time that we would have used in discussion for an actual sisterhood activity. I found some suggestions on our national website that I think would be positively received (and that are very unlikely to delve into territory that I don't want!).

Thank you again for all of your input.

Have you asked the chapter what they'd like to have presented? Engage them in the planning, etc. will help them engage more fully as a participant in the workshop.

I'd also do something where they have to leave their phones in their purses or somewhere else the entire time. There's nothing like having a phone out to distract one from fully paying attention and not having it at hand will also help them fully participate. I've seen places where every person had a manila envelope with their name on it and they had to put their phone in it, then turn it over to a person who would watch it. Seriously, these kids are glued to them like no other generation, they'll be surprised at how refreshed they feel when they finish the workshop.
