September 10th, 2025 – Amplification Station Recharged: Lead with Belonging

In Carlos Santini’s Grand Finale keynote at BSH 2025, “The Amplification Station,” he explored how identity, storytelling, and relationships shape vibrant, human-centered youth programs—leading to more impactful learning experiences and elevated communities of practice. In this follow-up workshop, we take those same ideas and weave them into the everyday program culture by exploring how a deep sense of belonging unlocks authentic leadership in both staff and youth.

Together, we’ll reconnect with the power of personal and collective identity, elevate the role of belonging in community design, and discover how leadership can emerge when staff and youth are empowered to show up fully, share boldly, and lead confidently—from wherever they stand. Missed the original keynote? No problem – we’ll revisit the foundational principle and build more strategies together.

Hosted by Carlos Santini, CEO, Mizzen Education.

September 17th, 2025 -Students, Screens & AI: Navigating the Digital Identity Shift

Discover how AI-driven and social media algorithms are influencing students’ digital identities and online behaviors, and learn effective ways to support them as they navigate these changes. Participants will examine their own relationship with social media before diving into how AI influences what students see, post, and engage with.

We’ll discuss the impact of poor social media activity and the risks it poses—emotionally, professionally, and reputationally. Through engaging dialogue and practical examples, we’ll uncover how AI curates content and affects digital interactions. Attendees will gain actionable strategies to help students build mindful, positive, and appropriate online profiles in an AI-influenced world.

Hosted by Julia Gabor, Founder, kid-grit, and Dynamic Director of Partnerships and Outreach, Michelle Pina.
