"Students at the Charles A. Tindley School in Indianapolis, Indiana worked with their peers at Amideast Jordan in Amman, Jordan to investigate the impact of stereotypes. They created an awareness campaign and made a powerpoint presentation to showcase to their school during an assembly and to showcase in their peer's school in Jordan. This student project was created as part of Youth Talk 2014-15, a youth virtual exchange program that connects students in the United States and the Middle East and North Africa. It is run by Global Nomads Group, in partnership with Bridges of Understanding."
