The Lost Generation
Last year, students at the Special Olympics World Youth Summit were asked to create PSAs that could inspire people to quit using the word "retard" in offensive ways.
What other examples can you share of how we can use words to make a difference?

I would like to share a poem written by a Greek person living in Sydney, Australia. His name is SS. Harkianakis. The original poem was written in Greek. This is a translation. It speaks to the heart of all of us.....
On the Trail
Sometimes we should reach the maturity
to measure the human being not from the sum
of what one does or what one says
but above all from the tone of voice
the absentminded gaze
some awkward gesture.
In those isolated fragments
is hidden more authentically if not integrally
the image of one's neighbour
rather than in the futile effort
to present harmonized
for social evaluation
elements by nature heterogeneous.
