On March 25, the Shen NCBI Chapter hosted a group of HS students, teachers and staff who came together in a workshop which encourages participants to confront deeply-held misinformation about themselves and others, to tell their own stories of discrimination in order to build understanding among people, and to learn skills for building bridges. The National Coalition Building Institute (NCBI) is an international, non-profit, leadership training organization based in Washington, DC, USA. Since 1984, NCBI has worked to eliminate racism and all other forms of prejudice and discrimination throughout the world. NCBI training is lead by Shen HS students and staff throughout the school year. Participants are guided through a series of interactive exercises designed to begin building a community of allies and an environment of understanding through introspection and empathy . The Shenendehowa High School NCBI Chapter would like to invite community leaders to learn more about NCBI.
