Marlo: Becoming An Ally
'I guess it runs in the family because I remember my grandmother. We were talking to her about would she like to go into a home because she was starting to lose certain functions, and it was getting more challenging for her and the family, and she said, “Why would I want to go in those places? They’re full of old people.”'
Christina: Growing Pains
"I think the Sense Project is having growing pains too and is coming into its own and is trying out things and like oh that doesn't fit, that doesn't work, and oh that person doesn’t like me, whatever, I’m not going to like go hide in the corner and cry, like I’m actually going to find ways to like be myself, and so, in a way, it's funny how the Sense Project is like a teenager in many ways."
Introducing Christina and the Sense Project
"The Sense Project is a sexual health education project at Head & Hands. Its scope is to deliver workshops in schools and high schools in Montreal, and to also train volunteer at peer educators, so high school students, to be sexual health advocates in their school and in their communities. So that’s generally the scope of the Sense Project."
Kate: Youth as Buzzword
"Youth would probably come from an older group trying to define a younger group, because it doesn’t sound very much like a young word."
Allannah: Empowerment and Curiosity
"So I think that is, if you get there, if you get to the point where kids are reading because they want to, not because they're made to, if they have curiosity not because they're made to look into things but because they want to, the battles won."
