The Phoenix Human Relations Commission, in cooperation with the Equal Opportunity Department and Phoenix Channel 11, has produced a 35-minute youth video addressing race relations and cultural diversity to be shown in Arizona schools and on Channel 99, the City's educational television station. The video, United Minds: A Youth Perspective on Diversity, focuses on ways for youth to build tolerance and a sense of community at school.

The tape features 13 dynamic students from Valley high schools gathered together for a roundtable discussion on diversity issues affecting young people. Discussion centers on:

• What is Diversity?
• Race and Ethnicity Perceptions
• Stereotypes
• Who is Responsible for Change?
• Reflections of the Past and Visions of the Future

EOD collaborated with the National Conference for Community and Justice in creating a discussion guide to accompany the video.

The aim of the tape is to stimulate positive discussion about issues of diversity and equality. It is available free of charge to high school teachers and counselors, neighborhood and community groups, and faith-based organizations to help both adults and young people learn to value, appreciate and respect differences in our society.

For a copy of the videotape and discussion guide, contact the EOD Community and Business Relations Division at 602-261-8242/voice or 602-534-1557/TTY. There is a $35.00 charge per video to cover the cost of dubbing and shipping.
