Hampstead Elementary School received a $7,000 grant from the Alex and Ruth Dworkin Foundation Tolerance Initiative Fund, administered by the Canadian Jewish Congress Quebec Region, for a program called Peace Makers, introduced on May 5 by Dynamix Adventures (www.getdynamix.com) for all students. “The goal of Peace Makers is to teach students to tolerate each other’s differences, be it cultural, social, academic or otherwise,” said Corey Szwarcok, the director of Dynamix. “Students learn the importance of respect, honesty, kindness and patience so that collectively they can resolve conflicts and better co-exist as a community.” Seen here, are (centre) Daphna Leibovici of the Canadian Jewish Congress, Corey Szwarcok of Dynamix Adventures, and a Hampstead School student during the launch of the program.
