During the Peace Talk students<br>will introduce topics related to two context areas:<br>• Our Life, Our Voice<br>• Moving Forward Together<br>Within this space, students immerse themselves in a shared relation values model and engage<br>their peers in a deliberative dialogue for collaborative communal change. Students will surface<br>responsive, responsible advances for safety and security, belongingness, social approval, self esteem,<br>and community well-being. They will become active participants in goal setting and<br>achievement by re-imaging the relationship among experiential education and social and<br>restorative justice in negotiating disenfranchisement and the power of student engagement. The<br>Peace Talk will conclude with a Student Resolution that states in part "....resolves and affirms on<br>March 1, 2023, SUNY OW students are critical thinkers who responsibly respond through action to......"<br>The Peace Walk<br>3:30 p.m. - 3:40 p.m.<br>The Peace Walk will demonstrate that OW students are about responsibly responding through<br>action. It will immediately follow the Peace Talk. It will host OW students along the pathways of<br>the OW campus (from the Student Union, past the entrance to the NAB, up to the NAB Shuttle<br>Stop, and then, reversing back to the Student Union). During the Peace Walk, students will walk<br>with a picture of a person significant to them or symbol of a bias/social inequity that impacted<br>them. In this way students will become Griots preserving the historical narrative while adding to<br>that narrative their own personal experiences to represent family life, community, cultural<br>traditions, and morals.<br>The Student Walk-the-Talk Peace Summit is significant because it follows Martin Luther King, Jr.<br>National Day of Service and closes Black History Month, but advances three weeks of service<br>leading up to the birthday of Dr. Arthur O. Eve, the founder of the Educational Opportunity<br>Program.</div>
