We spoke with Michelle Pincince, Connecticut Education Director, East Division, of the Connecticut Anti-Defamation League (ADL), about how the ADL's No Place For Hate Program combats bullying, bias, and prejudice through educational programming. The program is a holistic, school-wide approach to improving school climate.
The origins of ADL’s anti-bias programs date back to 1985, when ADL and WCVB-TV in Boston initiated the A World of Difference® campaign, a series of education and media-driven programs designed to combat prejudice and create effective tools to address these issues in the classroom and community. The campaign's immense success led to ongoing programs across the country and several national awards including a Peabody, Gabriel and Scripps-Howard.
Their customizable, interactive training programs and curricula provide the tools for reflection and learning.
