Pt. 2: Youth Perspectives

A group of vibrant, energetic young adolescents participated in the Conference. After running and playing in the halls, they were attentive and focused in the sessions – quite a feat for these 10 and 11 year olds. And to our pleasant surprise, they received awards for their artistic endeavors during the plenary. Their smiles and enthusiastic thank you’s helped remind us of how wonderful it is to be young… and young-at-heart.
