All this week, "In A Flash" will feature images from the Kent State University group's trip to Rwanda.
Dr. James Smith is the founder of the Aegis Trust, a nonprofit organization dedicated to ending genocide and other atrocities in the world. He gave the keynote address on July 11, the first day of the three-day global peace conference in Kigali, Rwanda.
The conference, titled Peace Education in an Era of Crisis, is being sponsored by Kent State’s School of Peace and Conflict Studies, Kent State’s Gerald H. Read Center for International and Intercultural Education, the University of Rwanda and the Aegis Trust.
Conference attendees include delegates from 14 nations and nine U.S. states, including a large group of Kent State educators and students along with administrators from the Stow-Munroe Falls School District in Northeast Ohio and delegates from the Fairfield (Ohio) City School District and Ohio State University.
