KEYNOTE TITLE: Empty Your Backpack; A Message of Hope, Mental Health and Kindness.
KEYNOTE DESCRIPTION: Everyone has a giant invisible backpack strapped to their shoulders – and surely your students are no exception. In these backpacks, your students carry the thoughts and opinions that other people place on them. Things that stop them from loving themselves and expressing who they truly are. This program aims to help your students remove the mental burden on their shoulders and provide them with an empowering outlook on the past, present and future.
PROGRAM OUTCOMES
- Increase student and staff mental health
- Reduce bullying and inappropriate behaviour
- Cultivate hope and inspire more kindness
- Provide students with wellness tools
Below is a preview video of the touring speech.
*Program investment: $2500 (We pay for ALL Travel expenses)

Hi (name),
I’m reaching out to share a very exciting opportunity for our students.
I recently learned about the mission of author and keynote speaker Sam Demma and think bringing his message to our school would make a huge impact. You can watch a recent news segment about him here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O74SxkmE9bw

I firmly believe booking Sam to speak to our students would be relatable, engaging and impactful. Please take a look at the videos, and let me know if you approve of this. Sam’s email is sam@samdemma.com, and the spaces are filling up quickly.
Hoping we can make something happen for our students.
Warmly,
