Giving youth alternative Activities to cannabis Forum topic

Hello!

I'm a cannabis education outreach worker for the Six Nations Reserve. I'm toying around with a workshop idea that will essentially keep idle hands busy and away from cannabis, while also educating about cannabis. The target audience would be children and youth.

Thanks in advance,
