1:30pm - 2:15 pm: Examining the Issues
1. Ask students to take a look at the topics they chose to focus on earlier in the Leadership Institute.
2. Have students individually brainstorm some of the ways that these topics could be presented to a larger audience of youth.
3. Have the students come back together and share with each other the different ways that these issues can be presented through the Confronting Concerns program.

Processing:
1. What ways can we outreach to make CCIII accessible to different teens and get a strong turnout?
2. What boundaries do you have to cross to get the word out?

2:15pm - 2:45pm: Looking at the Calender/Choosing dates

2:45pm - 3:30pm: What is a Workshop?

1. Have participants think of the last workshop they took part in.
2. Ask participants whether this workshop was fun and engaging or not. Ask them to identify what makes a workshop fun and engaging and what makes it boring. Take notes for the whole group to see the responses.
3. Next, have participants define a 'workshop', what is its purpose? Record the answers on a large sheet of paper.
4. Then, ask them to brainstorm the different parts of the workshop. (Icebreaker, Main Activity, Disucssion, Wrap Up)
5. Once they have brainstormed the different parts, ask the participants to get in to groups of 2 - 3 people and try to put the different components of the workshop in order-- which activity comes first, second, etc.
6. Have each group present the order of their components to the entire group.
7. After each group has presented, go through the order of workshop components, and have the group define each component and give examples of different activities that can be used in this section.
8. Have a brief discussion about workshop structure to ensure that everyone has a solid idea of how a workshop is put together.

3:30pm - 4:00pm- Next Steps/Future Dates

1. Have students discuss the possibility of doing a Living Room Dialogue with adults
