Upcoming Event: Child Soldiers and Bullying: Taking a Stand Against Genocide and Hate
World Without Genocide, a human rights organization headquartered at William Mitchell College of Law, St. Paul, announces its inaugural high school institute to be held this summer, August 16-18. The institute, "Child Soldiers and Bullying: Taking a Stand Against Genocide and Hate," focuses on the connection between bullying and homophobia in our local schools and the prevalence of hate and violence around the world. The institute will include a genocide survivors’ panel; action plans from advocates, human rights experts, and upstanders; leadership training; and award-winning films. The institute will conclude with student presentations for local government leaders.
Rev. Carl Wilkens will be one of the featured speakers. The only American to remain in Rwanda during the 1994 genocide, Wilkens personally saved the lives of hundreds of children.
High school sophomores, juniors and seniors are invited to apply. The program will be held at William Mitchell College of Law from August 16-18. The cost of $100 per student covers meals, materials, and the program. Need-based scholarships are available; no student will be turned away.

World Without Genocide promotes education and action to protect innocent people, prevent genocide, prosecute perpetrators, and remember those whose lives and cultures have been destroyed by genocide.
