Description 

Human trafficking and child exploitation can happen anywhere. Schools are safe spaces for students to learn about trafficking and exploitation prevention. This webinar will highlight best practices for K-12 educators on how to build a human trafficking and exploitation prevention program. We will begin with a brief presentation on ways schools can implement anti-trafficking training, education, and resources for students and staff, including examples of prevention programs. We will then have a panel discussion with several anti-human trafficking advocates, lived experience experts, and school personnel. Panelists will discuss how to connect students to human trafficking and child exploitation prevention work including designing approaches that are culturally relevant and appropriate to the students’ needs, activities students and staff can take part in, and how to best collaborate with the community. Panelists will also talk about how to get buy in from parents, students, school leaders, and teachers on the importance of talking about trafficking and exploitation prevention programming in schools. The webinar will conclude with an audience Q&A.
