Youth Chautauqua
Healers and Peacemakers Programs

"Chautauqua" is an event format started as an education and social movement in 19th century America to bring uplifting cultural programs to rural Americans. Chautauqua is an Iroquois term meaning “two moccasins tied together” which describes the lake where Chautauquas were first held.

 

Informed by the White Roots of Peace, story of the Great Peacemaker and his Messenger Hiawatha, who envisioned and formed the Iroquois Confederacy, the Choreosophy Institute Chautauqua (CIC) platform invites discussion of public issues of the day, international relations, diplomacy, science, the arts, and literature. 

 

The CIC Youth Chautauqua is an interfaith cultural diplomacy program designed for children and youth ages 9 - 18 and their parents who are budding young healers and peacemakers.
