Human Rights Day in Scarsdale Middle School has always been a great learning day. There are always a number of great presenters who share a wide range issues concerning human rights and humanities. I was invited to give a presentation about Islam and Indonesia. Due to the limited amount of time, most of the presentation and discussion I had was mainly related to the topic of Islam.
There were four groups of 7th graders who came to my sessions. Each of them showed their genuine curiosity, and directly and indirectly, reflected on their previous knowledge and understanding on the topic. Some of them seemed to have very little awareness about it. At times, it was quite clear from their reactions that there had been some misunderstanding on issues surrounding Islam.
