About The Event
Thanks to a partnership with the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), The Brooklyn International High School has developed a Peer Training Program to create a school-wide culture of peace and respect by empowering students to become leaders of positive change. From February 10th to the 14th, Peer Trainers will conduct a series of workshops in 9-12th grade classrooms around the theme: "What is Justice?" The aim of the workshops is to raise awareness on the different forms that injustice can take and think creatively about what young people can do to create a more just world. Some of the include making and distributing 1 Billion Rising for Justice buttons, creating a "Peace Tree" and thinking critically about the meaning of peace and justice through an analysis of famous quotations.
