GSSW Bring PeaceJam
to Houston
The Graduate School
of Social Work (GSSW) is sponsoring a PeaceJam Conference
November 12-13. The PeaceJam Youth Conference is a two-day
gathering of high school youth where students interact with
the featured Nobel Peace Prize Laureate through question and
answer sessions and presentations.
Leading up to the conference,
students are guided through a curriculum that is centered
on peace and non-violence as well as the life and work of
the featured Nobel Laureate.
Once at the conference, students
have a chance to present their plans for initiating positive
change in their communities directly to the Nobel Peace Prize
Laureate. Students are engaged in a variety of leadership
workshops, meetings in small groups with youth from different
schools, team building games and more. The youth also participate
in a service project set up in the community.
The PeaceJam Foundation was
founded in 1996 in Denver. The goal of PeaceJam is to inspire
a new generation of peacemakers who will transform themselves,
their communities and the world. PeaceJam is a year-long,
on-going educational program for youth. The participating
Noble Peace Laureates are: Jody Williams, Adolfo Pérez
Esquivel, José Ramos-Horta, Archbishop Desmond Tutu,
The Dalai Lama, Aung San Suu Kyi, Rigoberta Menchú
Tum, President Oscar Arias, Betty Williams, Sir Joseph Rotblat,
Bishop Carlos Felipe Ximenes Belo, Shirin Ebadi, and Mairead
Corrigan Maguire.
