October 25th-27th
OMGLOL 2024 will wrap up with student-led projects centered around relevant social issues that will be chosen and persued through the workshops. Staff and subject matter experts will be available to guide youth through developing a tangible piece.
What do we mean by "social and emotional learning"?
OUT Maine teaches social and emotional learning competencies (self awareness, self management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision making) through various content mediums and areas of interest, many of which can be applied to both children and adults. In the same way that playing on a sports team can teach relationship skills like collaboration, our staff has used yoga to teach self management, art to teach social awareness, and more.
