IN THEIR SHOES
You make the decisions.
Kaity’s Way is proud to incorporate the “In Their Shoes” activity to presentations and workshops.
It was developed by the Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence (WSCADV) and allows students to walk in the shoes of a victim through role-playing.
The students become one of six characters navigating their way through real-life experiences that include stalking, sexting, homophobia and pregnancy.
They make choices about their relationships and move through the activity by reading about interactions with their dating partner, family, friends, police and other adult figures.
The one-hour, large-group activity allows students to feel more engaged and comfortable when talking about teen issues like dating violence and the importance of having healthy relationships. We also take adults through this activity, but they’re required to check their prefrontal cortex at the door.
