March 20-23, 2009 Washington, DC Peace Alliance Trip

A better world is possible when people acquire sufficient background for their role as citizens of a democracy.

The Teach Peace Foundation is not offering a Teach Peace 2009 DC trip but is recommending high school students attend the Peace Alliance March 20-23 national conference.

Trip purpose

To educate students so that they have the background and skills to effectively advocate for the Department of Peace.

Conference location

Hyatt Crystal City
2799 Jefferson Davis Highway
Arlington, VA 22202

Cost

The student conference registration fee is $100 for the entire conference.  The local Holiday Inn (easy walking difference from the conference) is $120 per night, which would mean $60 per night if 2 students shared a room (if 2 students sharing a room stay Fri-Mon, that means the hotel cost is a total of $180).

The cost for plane tickets will be the cost the airlines charge and is estimated to be $350 for round trip tickets. The cost for meals and transportation is estimated to be $200.

The total trip cost is estimated to be $830. 

Supplemental Tours & Leadership Training

The trip is with The Peace Alliance and the Teach Peace Foundation is recommending people participate. We offer student support in the form of special classes to students to help them prepare to meet with members of Congress. A list of speakers is available by clicking here.
