Masters to Host Saturday Summit on Social Justice

10/12/2018

The Masters School and Rye Country Day School will host a Saturday Summit on Social Justice (SSSJ) at The Masters School from 9:30 AM to 7:00 PM tomorrow, October 27.

The event is open to local independent school students in grades 8-12, faculty and administrators. The summit will enable local independent school communities to come together for exciting, meaningful and empowering dialogue about subjects ranging from equity and inclusion to identity and the importance of activism. Further details, including the student and adult workshops being offered at the SSSJ, are available here.

We are also excited to have as our keynote performer, The Defamation Experience, which will begin with a riveting courtroom drama that explores the highly charged issues of race, class, religion, gender and the law with a twist: our audience will be the jury.

Combined with an audience deliberation and a facilitated discussion, The Defamation Experience is a unique opportunity for our community to engage in civil discourse about the most pressing social issues of our day.

Registration opened on Wednesday, October 10, 2018. Click here to register for the event. Please note there is no cost to Masters School and CITYterm attendees.
