Founder and president of RESPECT, Marc Schaeffer, and two of his colleagues at Stevenson Britannia Adult Learning Centre were given the opportunity to attend a workshop for educators and administrators called Tools for Tolerance. This two day workshop at the Simon Wiesenthal Center (SWC) in Los Angeles, USA was as Marc said “a life-changing experience.”

The workshop included exhibitions on the Holocaust, evolution of racism in the United States, bullying and researching genealogy. Presenters included one of the Little Rock Nine and a Holocaust survivor.
