Mento School

A 4-week program consisting of co-horts of 6 youth who

met weekly to discuss their emotions while sharing songs

and stories associated with them.

Mento School was founded on the belief that meaningful

connections require consistent exposure to the same group

of people. With this philosophy in mind, we created a series

of events designed to help strangers connect on a deeper

level. Each week, participants explored a chosen emotion

by bringing a song and a story they associated with it.

The evenings were spent sharing these stories with the

group and then collectively listening to the song.

The program began with lighter emotions, such as joy,

before gradually delving into more intimate feelings,

culminating in grief during the fourth week. By the end

of the program, all six participants reported a stronger

sense of community within their city. They had formed

a group chat to stay connected and continue meeting

outside the program, solidifying the bonds they had

built and the effectiveness of our thesis.
