Maine students bridge divides at Can We? Connect conference

More than 240 students from 14 Maine high schools gathered at the Augusta Civic Center yesterday for the Can We? Project’s annual Can We? Connect conference. As the second of three retreats during the school year, Can We? Connect included two student-facilitated breakout sessions where participants used a listening and inquiry protocol to better understand each other’s home communities and the issues that are most important to their peers.
