LEWISTON — The Lewiston Youth Advisory Council will launch their new T.A.L.K positive communication campaign at press conference at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 7, in the Lewiston Council Chambers at Lewiston City Hall, 27 Pine St.
T.A.L.K stands for treat all listeners kindly, and LYAC want to encourage individuals to communicate with others in a respectful manner. Whether the conversation is at school, at home, out in the community or in political discussions, LYAC Vice-Chair Deni Federico noted that it’s important to “Talk for the good; listen for the better.”
With a campaign tag line of “Share Your Perspective, Not Your Attitude,” LYAC Treasurer Courtney Caouette added, “Even if you can’t agree on a whole idea, there are always multiple aspects that we all have in common.”
The campaign originated from a discussion as to the group’s next focus, and ideas kept surfacing around interacting with others or communicating with others. T.A.L.K was the result, and the group has been discussing ways to get their positive communication message out into the community. Some of those ideas will be shared on Feb. 7.
