1. Who am I? An interfaith, intercultural strengthening and exploration of personal stories - and the intersections of these stories.
2. I am a Leader: Leadership lessons and workshops such as Strategies of Effective Leadership, Nonviolent Conflict Resolution, Obstacles to Leadership, and Leadership Among Family and Friends.
3. Plan and Create: Social entrepreneurship/business plan development - improvement of our communities, put on paper, and put in practice.
4. Work: Mini internships and collaboration with prominent local businesses, nonprofits, or other institutions relating to each student groups' business/social plan. This strand will also feature notable speakers and mentors.
5. Play: Cultural and sporting excursions.
6. Daily Debrief and Reflection: Processing and expressing each day's intercultural, interpersonal, and interfaith interactions, personal development, areas of strength, and areas of opportunity, facilitated through arts, literary ventures, kinesthetic activities, and dialogue.
7. One World: Simulated implementation of business/social plans, compiled to create the "One World City" exposition, featuring youth-led workshops, and youth speakers and artist from the program in a day-long event. A concurrent Opportunity Fair will connect participating youth with top-ranked schools and international programs, including exchange, education, internship, and work options.
Day 2
