The 2011 Global Education Conference is pleased to announce a very special virtual opportunity for conference attendees. During the conference (November 14-18) Greg Jacobs and Jon Siskel of Siskel/Jacobs Productions have generously allowed us to view their award-winning and inspiring documentary, Louder Than a Bomb. This film tells the story of four teams from Chicago area high schools competing in the world’s largest poetry slam festival, also entitled Louder Than a Bomb and run by Young Chicago Authors. Conference participants will undoubtedly be moved by the talent, dedication and character of the teenagers profiled; their stories serve as reminders of the power of youth voice and the necessity of the arts in schools.
We are also especially thrilled to have co-director and producer Greg Jacobs as a keynote speaker for the Global Education Conference. On Wednesday, November 16 at 2 PM CST (23:00:00 UTC-6), Greg will join us online to tell the story of the film and to answer questions you may have. We highly recommend that you view Louder Than a Bomb before this session.
