Today, Monday, June 12th, The Lang School, a school for twice-exceptional learners in lower Manhattan, hosted an LGBTQIA+ panel of activists and advocates in celebration of Pride Month. For this occasion, they hung small Tolerance Posters throughout the school.
Speaking on the panel were Father Matt from Trinity Church, Julian, David, and I. The panel was organized and moderated by Camille Giordano.
"The Lang School educates twice-exceptional (2e) children — gifted students with learning differences. We offer these highly promising learners a rigorous, child-centered, empirically validated education with integrated supports that foster independence and self-advocacy. We model and teach students to own their impact and empower them to speak up and stand up for equity and social justice. For most people, the school years are about fitting in, while adulthood is about standing out; for 2e children, standing out comes early. At Lang, through the nurturing of purpose, passion, and talent, exceptionality is not only recognized but celebrated." – From The Lang School Website
On November 24th, we had the opening of the Tolerance Poster Show in the Ximen Red House in Taipei. The Red House is a historical building that has over 500 visitors per day. The Tolerance Poster Show takes place alongside the Taiwan International Student Design Competition Award Ceremony. This not only enriches the exhibition of the award-winning designs but also introduces more teachers and students in Taiwan to The Tolerance Project. This show was made possible by the effort of Prof. Apex Lin, Prof. Leo Lin and Miira Lin. The announcement poster for the Taipei show is created by Leo Lin.
