The Program — T.R.U.T.H. Revolution Youth Campaign

FNMI Workshops Charity has turned 10 separate life-skills workshops into one full-day, live theatrical event. With a team of professional athletes, Indigenous performers, and certified social workers, we take students through the story of Barry — a young Indigenous man who experiences bullying, abuse, addiction, and loss — pausing at key moments for open discussion, not just a performance.

It’s built to be remembered, not just attended. Every stop in the day, from a live wrestling finale to a robotics workshop, ties back to a real skill your students can carry with them: how to speak up, how to step in, and how to ask for help.

Below is what a full day looks like, start to finish. For a closer look at any individual stop — including Wombs of Wisdom, the Drone Pilot Program, or the Anti-Bullying Wrestling Finale — see Program Modules.
