We aim at improving the critical thinking and communication skills of secondary students so that they become engaged and active citizens in their communities.

We envision a society where differences are embraced and conflict is resolved without resorting to violence, through teaching the youth how to disagree on public policy issues without treating your opponent as an enemy
