Peace and Conflict Resolution. Part 1

Description

Are there common threads among ethnic conflicts throughout the world? How does the hopelessness born of poverty and illiteracy contribute to the appeal of violence and fanaticism for young people? These are some of the questions asked at the Tomorrow's Leaders conference which brought together young people from Africa, the former Yugoslavia, Northern Ireland, the Middle East, and the United States. Elie Wiesel's Foundation for Humanity sponsored the conference and he talks about the importance of dialogue. Also featured is a report on P.S. 230 in Brooklyn, New York, an elementary school where students learn conflict resolution techniques in order to prevent violence and promote tolerance.
