PeaceJam's Heartland Region affiliate hosted its most recent annual PeaceJam Slam, a one-day youth conference, at William Woods University on Friday, March 28, 2008.

The PeaceJam Slam (for PeaceJam participants ages 14-19)

The PeaceJam Slam takes place six months after the PeaceJam Youth Conference. The PeaceJam Slam is a one-day conference bringing youth together to report in on the service-learning/Global Call to Action projects for their community they have already completed, attend leadership training workshops, and get excited about the next PeaceJam year. At the PeaceJam Slam, students find out which Nobel Peace Prize Laureate they will be studying for the next year. It is also a time for the adult advisors to be trained in the new curriculum for the upcoming year.

Heartland PeaceJam’s events are made possible by the following sponsors:
