About
The interactive SHINE program is designed for students in Cycles 2 and 3, and Secondary 1. Using an open and engaging approach with students, our prevention team discusses self-esteem, personal boundaries, healthy relationships and gender stereotypes. With the help of a variety of exercises that include scenarios, videos and reflections, these workshops empower students to develop their self-confidence and their ability to resist external pressures.
