Special Invitation to TIDE
What would our society look like if all teens had the tools to compassionately and effectively engage across differences of identity? What if every young person in our world was trained to see conflict not as an obstacle, but as an opportunity to communicate and collaborate with those who are different from them?
My name is Thi Nguyen and I’m a teen member of Youth LEAD, a non-profit based in Sharon, MA. For almost two decades, Youth LEAD has been training high school students to respectfully dialogue about highly charged issues. We’ve been recognized by the Pluralism Project at Harvard University as a national best practice.
We invite teens to join us this Memorial Day weekend for TIDE, our annual Teenage Identity and Diversity Education Conference. For three-days, teens lead experiential workshops and train their peers to lean into and lead difficult conversations around identity.
We also invite teen participants to present their own workshops at TIDE – on the intercultural and interfaith work they do in their own communities, or other issues of identity, diversity, and conflict resolution. In the coming weeks, our team will be reaching out to solicit proposals for these workshops. This is an aspect of the conference that we all look forward to every year, and we encourage you to apply!
If you work with high schoolers, or know teens who want to bridge “the difference divide,” we would be thrilled to have your youth join us at TIDE 2016!
Please see the poster below for more details, and feel free to email me, or the conference director Divya Chandramouli if this event interests you, or with any questions.
Thank you so much!
We look forward to hearing from you,
Thi Nguyen
