RALLY FOR PEACE: We’d like to thank this year’s R4P participants for their dedication, and hard work preparing their original work. Please, keep in mind that a primary focus of Rally 4 Peace is to give voice to our students, an opportunity to express themselves in a way they may not otherwise have while expressing their view of peace, and/or obstacles to it.
The performances you will see are based on the personal views of the students. We know some of what will be expressed may make you uncomfortable, but our intent is not to offend, but rather offer a different perspective. In order to come together, we must know where the other person is coming from, and while we may not agree on what is being said, our hope is that you realize some members of our society are not valued equally, treated equally, or given the same respect and rights as everyone. Each one of us has our own worldview, and personal experiences, and we thank our participants for having the courage to share theirs.
Discussions took place during our workshops directing students to look beyond the wrongs of society, and take action to work toward a future of peace. We wish the Week of Peace and Rally 4 Peace was unnecessary because everyone, everywhere lived in harmony, but unfortunately, this isn’t the world we live in.
