High school students explore identity at school conference

Posted on April 22, 2010 by Staff

The three high school thematic academies sponsored the first Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools Conference on Exploring Identity, which took place on Friday, April 16.

Carrboro High School has an Academy of International Studies, Chapel Hill High School has an Academy of the Arts and East Chapel Hill High School has an Academy of Social Justice.

The keynote speech, “Global Nomad: In Search of a Hero with a Thousand Faces,” was delivered by Arthur Romano, a certified nonviolence trainer and international educator.

Student participants in the conference took part in breakout sessions led by academy students from across the district and district educators. Topics for breakout sessions included Poetry, Hip Hop and Identity; Theater of the Oppressed; Issues of Mixed-race Identity in Contemporary America; The School Lunchroom: Overcoming Stereotypes and Segregation; the Significance of Facebook in Modernizing our Identity; and Covered: Muslim Women and Complexity of Identity.
Identity was selected as the conference theme because it connects the themes of the three high school academies.
