Be The Change
The power of acknowledgment

In this interactive program, participants will discover the power of acknowledgement, and how a simple blue ribbon can change lives and communities.  In an experiential setting, participants will discover the impact of negative and positive words; have an opportunity to share dreams and goals; visualize a world and community where people are accepted with understanding instead of apathy; experience how it feels to give and receive acknowledgement and create a strong, bonded community.
Be the Change is based on the Who I Am Makes a Difference™ acknowledgement program, which has been featured in Chicken Soup for the Soul™.  Over 22 million people worldwide have been acknowledged by the Who I Am Makes a Difference™ blue ribbon, which has been translated into thirteen different languages.   In addition to exchanging blue ribbons within the group, participants will be given additional blue ribbons with which to acknowledge people on their campuses and throughout their communities, creating ripples of change which will extend far beyond this program.
