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."
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.”'
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."
Neil: Hip-Hop and Production
"I think a lot of the kids, like we said about hip-hop being so pervasive, they look at it and see this end product, and it’s so sexy. They’re like, “I want to make that!” It’s good for them to go through the production because they see that it’s not all that easy – it takes a lot of work and perseverance to make an end product that you’re satisfied with. "
Jos: Youth Power
"I can go into a classroom and ask the teacher to leave and watch everybody just let their hair down and relax and talk about things in front of me."
