The teens meet almost daily in different churches to discuss the troubles facing the teens in their homes, schools and churches and to teach new ways around the prejudices and stereotypes that contribute to the violence often found in Northern Ireland. These meetings are performed by counselors, teachers and facilitators that organize the activities to ensure participation from all teens.
