More Details on Workshop

Hello there!  Here's the DL on the Human Rights and Drug Trafficking Workshop.  Basically,a short 15 minute-ish documentary will be shown.  After that there will be 40 minutes of panel discussion followed by 20 minutes of Q & A.  After that, everybody will break up into groups and discuss and write down their thoughts on 4 or 5 "guiding questions".  The purpose of this is to have all your thoughts come out.  Each group will be moderated by either a panel member or a member of the UNESCO Student Ambassadors.  They're awesome, and will help you effectively and succinctly express  your views.  After this discussion, everything will be printed and will be attached to an introduction prepared by a student ambassador urging the UConn History/Social Studies/ any other pertinent departments to try to involve more human rights and drug use problems into consideration when preparing their syllabi.  Everyone will sign the packet at the end to show their support and give more weight to our "suggestions".  Okay, it may sound intense, but it'll be fun and rewarding.  And hey, it's a very direct way of making a difference.  Remember, it will be on Friday, April 4th, from 5-7:30 in ITE Room c80 (it's underground, ooooo!)  The ITE building is the Information Technology Building which is between The Business School and Babbidge Library.  Any more questions, please don't hesitate to contact Rafa @ bafalacoste@gmail.com.  Cheers!
