| dc.description.abstract | The author combines the experience of teaching for twenty years at the same urban Canadian secondary school with a proven record in promoting a Social Justice agenda during that time. This study involves the exploration of Stand4Peace (S4P), an organization, co-created and facilitated by the author of the study. The author contends that participation in institutionally-based organizations dedicated to social justice initiatives informs the future praxis of those participants. Having devoted the better part of a decade to this organization, the author examines the ongoing impacts of the organization on the participants. The initiatives assumed by Stand4Peace included building shelters for children, providing aid to disaster victims and promoting issues of acceptance and diversity. The goal of this study was in part to see if these types of actives were reflected in initiatives taken on by the participants in Stand4Peace after they graduated from public school. The study utilized face-to-face recorded interviews, speaker phone recorded interviews and on-line surveys as data gathering devices. Ultimately, the study found that involvement in Stand4Peace is inspired the activities of former members subsequent to their participation in the organization, as is evident within their own testimonies and upon examination in this study. | en_US |
