Creating a Global Community:
Building Foundations for Effective Leadership & Change

Monday, December 7, 2009
9:00 a.m. - 2:30 p.m.

Join us for an inspiring full day as we increase knowledge and awareness of the Holocaust and genocide, challenging participants to think about lessons that can be learned from the past. Through this day, students will have the opportunity to learn about becoming an advocate and leader for change; how they can work to prevent genocide by raising awareness, by voicing opposition to the prejudices and indifference they encounter; and engage in activities that promote global peace and understanding.
