Using the Heroic Girlz Curriculum Guide, the creators of the Heroic Girlz Educational Project, Cindy L. Parrish, Meg Agnew, and Laura Yurko, will facilitate writing, visual arts, movement and theater exercises in which you will gain hands on training in this unique and creative educational process - no previous theatrical or artistic experience necessary!
You will have a deeper understanding of why it is so important for girls of this age group to express themselves through the arts, relate to female mentors (living and ancestral) and maintain the strength inherent in having a strong voice throughout their adolescent years.
This one-day expressive arts training with the creators of the Heroic Girlz Educational Project is for you if you are:
· a public or private school teacher
· a home school parent
· parent of a girl
· a girl scout troupe leader
· direct any kind of after school or extra-curricular programming with boys or girls
· summer program leader
· Work with young people in any capacity
The curriculum is simply laid out and easy to implement. It can easily be integrated into any ongoing curriculum and is a fantastic tool for teaching history, social studies, and maintaining self-esteem during the adolescent years.
