The Annual Youth Peace Leadership Conference is a
full day of workshops and activities for youth leaders in Colorado
schools to develop and advance their skills. The participants range
from 3rd grade through 12th grade, and their sponsoring adults or teachers
from various schools all across the state. This has been an extremely
successful event in past years and one that develops the peace leaders
of our future.
The Conflict Center has partnered with the Colorado School Mediation
Project, or the School Mediation Center for the last six years as co-sponsors
of this event. In 2004, CSMP/ SMC closed its doors. The Conflict
Center
is currently reviewing the Youth Peace
Leadership event program, exploring potential new partners, new locations
for the
event, and a new focus that will advance the
leadership skills of the future peacemakers.
