2016 SUMMIT ON HEALTHY TEEN RELATIONSHIPS
CALL FOR WORKSHOP PRESENTERS &
CALL FOR TEEN PERFORMERS
Teen Summit— The Details
Get ready for an exciting conference on teen dating and sexual violence and how it affects youth and those
who work with youth. All teens and adults working with teens are welcome on April 4-6, 2016 at the Kalahari
Resort and Waterpark in Wisconsin Dells.
Workshops and Teen Performances: The Info
Workshop presenters will be youth, adults, or both. Workshops are 60 minutes in length. There will be
approximately 30 workshop proposals accepted for the Summit. Anything related to healthy relationships or
teen dating or sexual violence and how it affects youth and those who work with youth is fair game. The
theme for the 2016 Summit is “Together We Will.”
We are also looking for proposals from teen performance groups (dance, drama, singing, music, spoken word,
or other creative activity) to perform in 30 – 45 minute slots for the entire Summit audience. You may have a
number of smaller creative pieces put together to form one larger performance (for example, four dances or
two skits or three songs). The performance should be related to teen dating violence, teen sexual violence,
how someone heals from abuse or how to be a helper for someone who has been abused. If you are chosen to
perform, you might be performing in front of up to 400 people!

Workshops Tips
• The theme for this year’s Summit is Together We Will!
• Be interactive! Get participants involved though exercises and opportunities to share.
• Be fun and creative! Incorporate media, music, dance, drumming, art and more!
• Be inclusive! Teens are coming from very different backgrounds and experiences. Some teens don’t
live at home; some have been victims or are survivors. Many teens are from different cultural
backgrounds or identity groups. Think of ways to welcome everyone and respect our differences.
• Be true to yourself! Present what you know best. Workshops that focus on specific identity groups and
survivor stories are welcome.
