The 2009 Greater Texas PeaceJam Youth Conference will be here before we know it. It will take place on March 28th and 29th at the University of Houston.The conference is a two-day event that will feature activities, workshops and projects centering around informing and educating approximately 250 youth on how they can get involved and advocate for the rights of all people, both local and global. In addition, the youth will get the rare, and life changing, opportunity to work alongside PeaceJam’s special guest, 1992 Nobel Peace Prize Winner Rigoberta Menchu Tum from Guatemala who has spent her life fighting for the rights of indigenous people. This PeaceJam event, themed “Ending Racism & Hate” should prove to be a momentous and unforgettable weekend for the youth involved.
