Results & Achievements:
Approximately 30–35 students attended Express. Participant feedback indicated increased confidence and encouragement to express themselves.
What We Learned:
Permissions, scheduling and participation constraints limited activities at several institutions, reinforcing the need for coordination, adaptability and perseverance.
Next Steps:
Conduct the government high school communication workshop once dates are confirmed, and develop the reading collaboration.
