Who is a hero? Someone who possesses exceptional courage or ability? Someone who demonstrates noble qualities? A role model? How do you define a hero? This workshop will investigate the idea of a hero – what defines a hero, the role they play in our everyday lives, and who can be a hero. Discussions on character traits such as respect, empathy, integrity, and responsibility will be used to creatively investigate historical and modern day figures, including Simon Wiesenthal, Romeo Dallaire, Craig Kielburger, and Benazir Bhutto. Students will also have the chance to focus on their own lives, their defining characteristics, and the ways in which they can be a hero and affect change.
