The ceremony lasted 4 days, in the tiny village of Talloires, just outside of Annecy - located on the SouthWest Corner of France, one hour away from Geneva Switzerland.  Topics of discussion ranged from

Creating global citizenship without having students travel abroad
How policy effects our programs
The importance of "CRITICAL CITIZENSHIP,"

and much much more.

SLS was honored to be selected among such elite programs!  The recognition of the work we do here locally by the MacJannet foundation has been a tremendous reminder that our efforts to engage our communities is a worthy cause to champion and that we are not alone in our struggles.  The fire and spirit of SLS is burning brightly all around the globe and we for one are are encouraged to continue fanning the flames.

Thank you Talloires Network, Tufts University, MacJannet Foundation and all the brothers and sisters who continually carry the torch of working together toward the greater cause of the common good.
