Objective: how to talk kindly and respectfully to others. Body language, tone of voice.
Module overview: being kind is an extremely important skill that is slowly dissolving with upcoming generations. I think this module can have mini-lessons on empathy or mindfulness. Learning how to accept others without feeling threatened or worried about who they are or what they believe. And tools to use when interacting with someone you might not agree with their lifestyles or choices but still are able to be kind. I think people are scared of what they don’t understand. I see a lot of confusion and hate towards groups such as LGBTQ+, different religions, or people of different races. We don’t have to understand but allowing them to be who they are, while we are confident in who we are is important. I think it starts with kindness.
