From the keynote:
Thank you for all of the great questions and insights during the conference. I wanted to share some of the links to the programs and resources I discussed during my talk.
You can find information about the Lemkin Summit, Student Upstander Program and lots of other information in our Activist Portal.
As I mentioned we do get a few high school student groups that typically attend Lemkin and gain a great deal from the summit. We try to make it as affordable as possible for students. Precise timing and applications should go live in September though it is typically held in February and expect it will again be next year.
If you are interested in bringing Congo Stories to your classroom, you can find the study guide and other information. I hope you will consider incorporating the book and lessons into your curriculum.
If you have any specific questions, I hope you won’t hesitate to reach out directly.
