Words travel fast, but so do the consequences. Rumor Has It is an engaging discussion that helps young people understand the impact of gossip, rumors, and misinformation on individuals, relationships, and school communities. Participants explore the difference between facts and assumptions, learn strategies for responsible communication, and develop the confidence to interrupt harmful narratives. By promoting empathy, accountability, and critical thinking, this presentation empowers youth to become positive voices who contribute to a culture of trust, respect, and integrity.
