Kids trust me, so they trust my advice that it's cooler to deal peacefully with conflict rather than lash out with something violent you will regret and never be able to take back. Produced by Green Fire Productions of Portland, the program is a highlight of a Youth Summit with the Dalai Lama in Portland in May involving 8,000 teens from throughout Oregon. The video is being unveiled at a press conference Thursday, April 19. The press conference features interviews with these teens, Oregon Congresswoman Elizabeth Furse, and Frances Kaplan of the Oregon Peace Institute, who helped make the video production possible. This video will carry this story and these ideas powerfully and convincingly long after the Dalai Lama's visit to Portland.
Teens Take Action available at the press conference.
Sponsored by the Linus Pauling Family, Oregon State University and the Soka Gakkai International, in association with the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, this 2,550 square foot exhibit traces seven decades of Pauling's remarkable life and celebrates the achievements of this great scientist and humanitarian.
