The City of Rockville, Maryland Human Rights Commission hosted its annual Diversity Leadership on Saturday, March 29, 2014. 20 students from Richard Montgomery, Rockville, Montgomery Blair and Wootton high schools and Montgomery College participated in activities that raised their awareness of broad notions of diversity and helped them develop skills they might use in reaching out to fellow students. They engaged in role-playing (including Forum Theatre) which demonstrated intolerance as well as illustrated positive approaches to engaging and supporting students with differences. A major emphasis of the program was preparing them to act as allies with their fellow students. Many of the activities were facilitated by students who attended the workshop the previous year.
The program was organized by David J. Smith, chair of the commission, and Janet Kelly, city liaison. If you have more questions, contact davidjsmith@davidjsmithconsulting.com.
