The Virginia Center for Inclusive Communities has developed an assembly program entitled “Break the Cycle: Be the Change” for schools across the Commonwealth.  Examining the concept and consequences of prejudice, “Break the Cycle: Be the Change” is a fast-paced, interactive, 75-minute presentation.  Beginning with the roots of prejudice, the program demonstrates clearly its progression from thoughts, to words, to actions.  Using humor, role playing, audience participation, and real-life examples and stories, “Break the Cycle: Be the Change” motivates students to consider the ways in which they may have contributed to prejudice and helps them to assume the responsibility to work for change as agents of unity.
