Austin Community College hosted a symposium to raise awareness of global and regional struggles children face at the fourth annual Peace and Conflict Studies Spring Symposium, \u201cThe Right to Peace: Growing Up with Conflict.”<\/p>\n

The event was free and open to the public.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cChildren are not in a position to affect their environment. Many of our own students have faced major conflict in their lives,\u201d says Dr. Shirin Khosropour, ACC professor of psychology and director of the college\u2019s Peace & Conflict Studies Center. \u201cCollectively, we as adults are responsible for creating safe environments where they can thrive.\u201d<\/p>\n

The symposium included two-panel discussions exploring the conflicts homeless, immigrant, and refugee children face and conflicts children face in school.<\/p>\n

Co-sponsored by the college\u2019s Mexican American\/Chicano Studies and the University of Texas at Austin\u2019s Latin American Studies, the event featured expert panelists including Sheerin Abbas-Hall of Austin Children\u2019s Services, Dalell D. Mohmed of KinderUSA, and Barri Rosenbluth of SafePlace.<\/p>\n

Participants will discuss the effect of immigration and absent parents on children and families in a screening and discussion of the film Al Otro Lado<\/em> (To the Other Side).<\/p>\n
