It was AWESOME.
First of all, if you are not familiar with PeaceJam, check out their website -- it is a great organization, and an awesome thing for kids to be involved in. Nobel Peace Laureates work with youth on service learning projects, and there is an excellent curriculum for the adult educators to help the kids develop their projects.
In their written reflections after the conference, my students said the most memorable part for them was seeing how other teenagers have developed projects to meet needs in their own communities. There were kids there from all over the world doing awesome things, and getting so much love from peace activist superstars.

Thanks for this post. It's great that you have students interested in conferences like this. I recently launched a site with the NIFB Young Entrepreneur Foundation. If you get a chance, stop by and leave some feedback.
Thanks,
