About the Event
WE ARE SORRY BUT THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED
This year's theme is Mission Possible: Protecting Freedom, Justice & Democracy in the Spirit of Nonviolence365. The event is open to 7th-12th grade students, with special guest speaker: Harry Jones III, Founder of Harry Jones III,LLC. Mr. Jones is also an author and international speaker. *Awards will be presented for the Art & Creative Expression Showcase.
*Deadline for art submission is 12/31/2024
The program will begin with an introduction of the theme we are sharing with the King Center: “Mission possible: Protecting Freedom, Justice, and Democracy in the Spirit of NonViolence365. Students and the community will gather together to discuss the theme and share the art created by some of our youth. Then, participants will convene in smaller groups with facilitators for open and safe dialogue. With deeper listening they will then share what each can do to build bridges and support those who are marginalized in their school or community. The perspectives of the youth this year should be enlightening to us all.
The event will end with a pizza dinner for all students.
