The Manytown Forum is a one-day youth workshop provided by the American Conference on Diversity Youth Leadership Institute. Manytown provides the opportunity for students from diverse ethnic, cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds to discuss relevant issues and identify strategies to improve inter-group relations in their schools and communities. Each forum is planned and facilitated by students who have been trained to lead a conversation about the selected Manytown topic. Students participating have the opportunity to model leadership skills and participate in open, honest conversation. Participants discuss strategies for increasing awareness and promoting diversity within their schools. (Source: American Conference on Diversity)
