Conversation Communities

Let’s bring on the banter.

What is this program about?

The Conversation Communities (CC) Program supports youth leaders in establishing discussion groups and organizing events about body image topics on their school campuses.

This is a yearlong program for high school and college students (ages 15-25, or year 10/Form 3 up to the final year of university for HK students).

When can I apply for this program?
Students can apply to this program anytime during the year. If accepted into the program, student leaders attend an orientation session before working closely with the Body Banter team to establish their group on campus.

What is expected of CC leaders?

Student leaders are expected to conduct a minimum of two discussion groups every month, as well as a minimum of three school events during the year.

I want to get involved!
