Youth Peace Initiative

“Peace Connections” Video Conferences

Thanks to Merrylands High School and Abbotsleigh Girls High School for hosting the first 2 Peace Connections video conferences in 2009!
Following the success of these events, YPI will again be coordinating regular video conferences in 2010, in cooperation with NSW DET’s Distance and Rural Technology Program, bringing together students from public, Catholic, and private secondary schools from around NSW.
Topics & speakers for 2010 will include Australian hip-hop artists discussing their music as a platform for social justice promotion, Australian comedians discussing racism in humour, the Darfur Australia Network discussing the ongoing war in Sudan, and Irene Kahn of Amnesty International discussing the state of human rights worldwide.
