YAC presents
Advanced Help Increase the Peace Program (HIPP)
Dates: January 30 -31, 2010
Time: 9:30AM – 4:30 PM
Location: NCCJ Office
1095 Day Hill Road, Ste 100,
Windsor, CT 06095
Fee: suggested donation of $5 to cover lunch.
Youth Action Coalition will host Paxeducare, Inc. for an Advanced Help Increase the Peace Program. Partnering with Pax Educare, HIPP teaches young people the skills for addressing and transforming conflict, violence, and injustice in their lives. The training introduces alternatives to violence and bullying and allows participants to practice various options by modeling and role-playing. Youth who participate learn to become empowered to seek solutions to the problems that confront them, both in their everyday lives and in the larger world.
Advanced HIPP will build on the skills presented in the Basic workshop and focus on delving deeper into conflict resolution theory and practice, and engaging participants in continued leadership development. Using consensus decision-making, participants will move through a process of bringing forth their own ideas and opinion, looking for common ground with other participants, and moving towards action.

Music and Dance of Africa and the
Caribbean with Sankofa Kuumba
Dates: Saturday, February 6, 2010
Time: 2:00PM – 3:00 PM
Location: Windsor Historical Society
96 Palisado Avenue,
Windsor, CT 06095
Fee: Cost for the program is $6 for adults, $5 for seniors and students, and $4 for WHS, WCOR, and NCCJ members. Program fees offset program costs but noone will be turned away for lack of funds.
Experience the richness and astonishing beauty of African culture through dance, music, storytelling, and art which has flowed from Africa toward the Caribbean and the United States for centuries. Costumed musicians and performers from Hartford’s Sankofa Kuumba Cultural Arts Consortium will take audience members on a journey through the African Diaspora, starting in Africa to honor the ancestors who came from there.
Sankofa Kuumba’s program is designed to draw audience members of different backgrounds closer together, one reason that Windsor Conversations on Race (WCOR) and the National Conference for Community and Justice (NCCJ) are community partners for this performance.

Anne Farrow - John Brown: Abolitionist
Date: Wednesday, June 30
Time: 7pm
Location: Prosser Public Library Connecticut-born John Brown has been dead for more than 150 years, executed for treason for having tried to mount a slave insurrection in 1859, but to a modern day that is reexamining the uses of radical violence to effect social change, Brown seems more relevant than ever. Anne Farrow began studying the life of John Brown in the spring of 2003 for the 2005 book she co-authored, Complicity: How the North Promoted, Prolonged and Profited from Slavery, and will present a talk on the life of Brown at Prosser in collaboration with The National Conference for Community and Justice. Anne Farrow is a career journalist who is now an editor at the Connecticut Humanities Council.
