Gearing up for a SLAM!

We are busily working and planning our upcoming Greater Texas PeaceJam SLAM!! This one-day event will be held at Pasadena High School in Pasadena, TX thanks to the efforts of our hosting PeaceJam Group the 77506 Youth Advisory Committee. The SLAM is Saturday, October 25th from 9:00am - 3:30pm. We'll be having 4 workshops centered around our theme of "Social Justice and Human Rights for All". PeaceJam groups will also be providing updates on their work with their Global Call to Action Projects, and we will be announcing our Nobel Laureate for the 2009 PeaceJam Youth Conference at the University of Houston. It should be an exciting day for everyone!

The youth are helping with all of the planning and even designing the t-shirts. All youth are welcome, as long as they bring an adult sponsor with them. You do not have to be in an exisiting PeaceJam Group! New sponsors will be able to take part in an all day curriculum training and learn how to implement PeaceJam in their school, church or community. Please contact us for registration information at pjam@central.uh.edu. Flyer coming soon!!
