Facing Change Summit

                                            July 22, 2010, 9am-4pm
                                     Cannon Caucus Room, Capitol Hill

Are you a college student who is committed to social change? Have you come to DC as an intern to learn how to have an impact on the world? Join Hillel: The Foundation for Jewish Campus Life, Ashoka U and the Interfaith Youth Core for a one day Change Summit on Capitol Hill devoted to collective dialogue and social change.

The Summit will focus on inspiring and mobilizing you, as student leaders of your generation, and equip you with methodologies you can use, to return to campus as true change-makers committed to engaging your peers in initiatives designed to foster collective dialogue and civic engagement.

Take Action: Be the Change that is needed

We live in a world of increasing discord along political, social, religious, and ethnic lines. College campuses have been divided, erupting around issues from Immigration to the Israel/Palestine conflict. Students have been left without tools to talk openly about difficult topics and to work together for social change.

The Change Summit will feature a variety of speakers, practitioners, and experts from across the globe who specialize in civil discourse and social change. Some of these speakers will include Hillel President, Wayne Firestone; founder and executive director of the Interfaith Youth Core, Eboo Patel; Washington Post and Pulitzer prize winner, Charles Krauthammer; Dean of students at the University of California, Berkely, Jonathan Poullard.

Attendees will all have the opportunity to participate in three trainings throughout the day with time to work on skills to help building allys on campus, practice civil dialogues and mapping campus assets. All this will be followed by a congressional reception open to all attendees.

This is not a day to miss work, you will spend the day developing yourself in worthwhile training to benefit yourself back on campus and professionally in life.
