Opening Doors Conference

High School and University Students Tackle World Peace Issues

The focus of the “Opening Doors” conference is on international development and conflict resolution issues. Designed to raise young people’s awareness of the challenges faced by youth in other parts of the world, and proactive ways students can help address these challenges, some students will experience exile first-hand. In one of the workshops, militants – volunteers in character – will march student participants through the campus to simulate the experience of cramped conditions, cold, and the threat of violence.
