“I really appreciate what you said to us about being the best we can be”. Summer camp participant, 2018.

Summer 2018

“Students often get bullied ….. I feel like everything that Aaron said and talked about helped the students understand the ramifications of bullying and why it’s everyone’s job to stop bullying. It’s a serious issue that everyone needs to be aware of and if we start educating our students when they are young, especially by using comic books, it really makes an impact on how they see themselves. Everyone want to be a hero and every single person is capable of being one! I really enjoyed the workshop. My kids all said: That was the best day ever!” Grade 3 School Teacher, Toronto, Canada

Strength of the exercise: “Allowing for student voice.” Grade 3/4 School Teacher, Toronto, Canada

Strength of the exercise: “Student involvement as role playing; open discussion; appreciation and attentive listening; visual impact of the comic; student empowerment to bring about change.” Grade 5 School Teacher, Toronto, Canada
