MLK DAY activities

Posted

On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, over 100 adults and children from the Jewish Community Day School of Rhode Island (JCDSRI) and the Islamic School of RI (ISRI) participated in a program led by educators from the GAMM Theater. The event is a kick-off to the Partners in Peace program - an innovative learning experience co-created a few years ago by JCDSRI and ISRI. 

This year, the program is expanding with a partnership with BRIJ (Building Relationships: Islam and Judaism), a new initiative at Brown University committed to Muslim-Jewish collaboration on campus and across Providence. BRIJ facilitators have created an interactive curriculum that lays the foundation for direct action as college students, fifth graders and their families work together to support organizations in Providence.
