Living Side by Side®
Developed over forty years of working with adolescents and young adults, the principles and curriculum of LSBS offer teachers, youth workers, and students new insight into shared universal values, recognition of more productive roles we play in both collaborative and competitive environments, and expands capacity to hash out differences appropriately and productively.
What is it?
A practical training program for teachers and youth workers that will result in truly peaceful and productive classrooms and activities! LivingSidebySideⓇ (LSBS) opens the door to self- and social awareness, as well as to the communication and dialogue skills that make engaged, respectful conversations and relationships possible. In today’s political climate, these skills are essential to ensure that people of different backgrounds and perspectives can find common ground and move toward peaceful resolution of our differences.
