OVERVIEW | WORKSHOP REPORTS | PHOTO GALLERY | PRINT-OUTS Workshop Report Mott Hall High School The peer mentors in Mott Hall's College for Every Student program work to promote respect for cultural diversity in their school. This workshop will focus on the strategies youth can use to address conflict between students from different ethnic and cultural groups. Through activities and discussions, participants will examine how they can build understanding in their schools, including how they can break down stereotypes, address racist language and jokes, and confront prejudice and discrimination. Report Two young women students from Mott Hall High School led the workshop. They were accompanied by their adult Facilitator. For some time now the school has been concerned and acting to build multicultural respect and to help break down stereotypes due to race and color. The students mentioned that they were inspired and grateful for the workshop presented to them by the Network for Peace facilitators and had used some of the activities to prepare the workshop for this conferenece. The facilitators introduced some introductory activities. One included trying to get a selected person to laugh at them and one was to say was quality they had that matched the first letter other name. The group included youth and adults and the sharing seemed open as people shared on experience from their own lives. The facilitator had carefully suggested some ways that showed reposes for one another and asked the group to respond to what they had on the charts. It included such things as: Pay attention, acknowledge others, give constructive criticism, respect others space etc. On discussion was how the participants had learned to respect the difference in others. One was adopted by a family of a different race and shared how difficult it was at times to understand but how enriching it was to gain new insights along the way. …both for the herself as a youth and for her adopted parents. At the end of the workshop the youth exchanged e-mails and said they would stay in contact with one another.
