Kids come in they're kind of suspicious of religion or they're coming in and they have very set ideas about their own religious tradition or other religious traditions. And what's been so great about using these tools is, you know, kids really are hungry to talk about religion and religious experience and issues that relate to religion.
We've built the tools that develops the foundational trust for them to talk to one another in ways that are respectful and genuine and really wanting to take that risk with one another.
We're in a conflict-ridden time, right, so any tools that you can give kids to develop habits of mind where they're taking a moment and they're reflecting and checking themselves first. Then instilling a mindset, how can I learn more about why this is important to particular people or to groups or why is this relevant in this particular situation. I think it just opens up their worlds in ways that that are relevant to the ways we need to be engaging with one another.
