Description

The Soul, Science and Culture of HOPE: Antwone Fisher, whose life was the inspiration for a major motion picture starring Denzel Washington, and Rick Miller, Founder of Kids at Hope, an international organization that studies family, school and community cultures to better understand how children succeed or struggle, are visiting Manitowoc, WI. They will share how HOPE is used as a strategy to achieve success for all children and youth. This even will explore Antwone's journey of hopelessness to hope through his writings and film along with a discussion around those themes and how they relate to the science of HOPE. The symposium includes a discussion about the culture of HOPE and how families, schools, and youth serving organizations and communities can implement a strategy that models how all children can succeed, No Exceptions! If you are looking for a way to demonstrate how a village actually does raise and educate a child, don't miss this opportunity!
