OVERVIEW | WORKSHOP REPORTS | PHOTO GALLERY | PRINT-OUTS Workshop Report Human Rights Activist Project, Global Kids Over the course of the past school year, students in the HSGC Human Rights Activist Project have focused on raising awareness about the prevalence and impact of NYPD’s stop and frisk policy which unfairly targets minority youth. They have also looked towards finding solutions for police misconduct, including reforming the Civilian Complaint Review Board. This workshop will examine the strategies that youth can use to achieve more effective campaigns to address human rights violations in their communities. Report PM Session Two young people from a Global Kids project in Brooklyn facilitated this session about their work around police profiling. Their introductory ice breaker was a name game in which each person gave their name and an adjective describing them using the first letter of their name, for example Active Alice. This was followed by Human Bingo, in which participants had to find a person in the group who knew the answer to a question on a bingo card. This was followed by an Agree/Disagree activity in which participants went to a side of the room depending on whether they agreed with a series of statements. They were then asked to explain their decision. A lively debate developed around the statement: Bringing petitions to your police precinct is an effective way to get the government to change. A young woman who lived in Greenwich Village believed such a petition would help. Two young women from Harlem insisted that petitions in their neighborhoods to stop excessive stop-and-frisk detentions were ignored. The young people then showed a film about their work to discuss stop-and-frisk policies with people in their neighborhoods and answered questions about their work.
