Midlands Mix

The Midlands Mix will assist a Midlands high school in developing a keener appreciation for its diverse student population by providing a forum for students to mix, engage in self-selected activities, and form trusting relationships. During spring 2008, students will be led in facilitated exercises and discussions that will result in the formation of an on-going student organization that will be formally organized during the 2008 – 2009 school year. The underpinning thesis is that teenagers who have an opportunity to know and work with one another will develop an appreciation for diverse people they otherwise would have had no opportunity to know.
