Peace and Education Summit
Hershey Montessori School hosted a Peace and Education Summit on March 6 and 7, bringing together middle school students for an incredible two-day professional conference. The event welcomed 70 visiting students from White Pine Middle School in Michigan, Hudson Montessori School, Lake Ridge Academy, Cleveland Montessori School and Ratner Montessori School, who collaborated with Hershey students for an enriching learning experience.
The theme of the summit was “Global Health and Health Justice.” Students researched specific health problems, gathered evidence to support that there are problems and investigated obstacles and solutions.
They planned and prepared interactive and engaging workshops to present to middle school students throughout the conference.
During the 40-minute workshops, students shared their knowledge gained about health issues, engaged the audience members in the topic and reflected on how it related to peace and education. Additionally, three expert keynote speakers added to their overall understanding of the topic.
