Great Lakes PeaceJam Slam 2013 - "Humanization: Valuing Each Other"

The Slam is an opportunity for youth to gather, get inspired, have fun, and use their skills to benefit a local community at a one-day youth leadership conference. Youth from Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio will come to Battle Creek, MI to kick off the 2013-2014 year of PeaceJam!

The theme of this year's Slam is Humanization: Valuing Each Other. Battle Creek was a home to Sojourner Truth during her most active years as an abolitionist and women's rights advocate. This year's Slam will honor the memory and spirit of justice that Ms. Truth represents. Ms. Truth worked and spoke out for the value of human life--all humans.

Up to 150 youth participants will explore ways that they can end the de-humanization that results in violence and exploitation. These teens will also have the opportunity to share ideas on positive community change with other PeaceJam youth and our amazing college mentors from across the region!
