Talking across Boundaries
Jackson, Camille
Teaching Tolerance, n28 p32-36 Fall 2005
Teaching Tolerance's Mix It Up program encourages students to take active roles in improving the social climates of their schools. best known for the annual Mix It Up at Lunch Day--November 15 this year--the program also offers mini-grants for student-centered activites outside the classroom aimed at helping ease tensions and improve relations across social boundaries. Mix It Up's three-year track record has shown that many, many students want to create safe spaces on their campuses for honest dialogue about their experiences with exclusion, prejudice and the social pressures that come with being teenagers. This article tells some of their stories.
