What does LOVE Nova Scotia do?
• New LOVE Youth join PhotoJournalism. Youth learn photography, writing and positive social skills to express themselves constructively without violence. These artworks become violence-prevention tools. Youth in PhotoJournalism see that their stories can and do make a difference that’s why they undertake Leadership Training. • In Leadership Training, youth learn to use their experiences and understanding of violence to teach non-violence in their communities. Presentation, conflict resolution, and teambuilding skills, plus life-skills and self-esteem development equip and empower trained LOVE Leaders to make a positive impact in their schools and communities through LOVE Outreach. • In Outreach LOVE Youth Leaders educate members of their communities about violence and violence-prevention. Leaders use role-playing, interactive methods, ONE LOVE (LOVE’s youth newspaper), and photographs and writing from PhotoJournalism to examine the impact of violence and share violence-prevention strat
