Healthy Haiku Workshops take participants on a journey that in the spirit of the great Brazilian Educator, Paulo Freire, starts from where they are and builds as a team to understand the important health issues such as violence and nutrition from the personal, group, community and global levels.
Our desire is to help each participant find their “voice!” These videos give a glimpse of how our process draws out the inner knowing of the children and adults that participate as well as building and reinforcing a team spirit!
