Education for Peace Conference

JOIN US! The 18th Annual Education for Peace Conference for students K-12 in Monroe County will be held in Tuesday April 28, 2009, at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). The conference will be held at CIMS  BUILDING  #  78 on RIT campus. For more information, please call Education for Peace at 585-426-3708.

The Annual Education for Peace Conference is one of the few local events that affords students from suburban and city schools the opportunity to interact, learn from each other, and participate in joint activities around peaceful coexistance. This conference is FREE and all schools (public, parochial, charter, private, etc.) in Monroe County are invited to participate.

Local Rochester and Monroe County officials and the Board of Education proclaim a week in April as "Education for Peace Week." Within that week, Education for Peace, Inc. sponsors an annual Education for Peace Conference that provides student workshops and performances addressing conflict resolution, cultural diversity, peer mediation, issues concerning women and girls, alternatives to violence (i.e. the arts), and ways to work for peace.
