Global Nomads Group Videoconference, 2/2/07

Early on the morning of February 2nd, before the World Forum program began for the day, ten members of the YDP representing all the countries attended a videoconference hosted by JAMS in partnership with Global Nomads Group and Facing History and Ourselves. Connected to four high schools across the country from San Francisco to Sun Valley, Idaho to Virginia Beach, Virginia, classrooms of seniors engaged in dialogue for ninety minutes. Differences on the Iraq War emerged and a discussion on how to communicate those differences so that others' perspectives were heard was valuable for everyone involved. High school classrooms in ten other schools were participating as "view only" sites in the videoconference.

awesome. Personally, I think these kids need way more education b4 they can contibute an opinion on the matter.

But then again, does the view of a young child injured by collareral damage carry more weight or less?

this is the perfect example showing to what extent Americans are brainwashed into supporting the US government by being lured into ideologies such as democracy that are completely absolutely fictive in places such as the US.
