Why is President Lincolns Cottage a fitting home for the annual Students Opposing Slavery Summit, where young people from around the world convene at the Cottage for an intensive week of education about modern slavery? The work Lincoln did here during his three seasons in residence provides context for the modern fight and inspiration for young minds eager to take this message back to their own communities. As a way to ground each day, presenters and program facilitators focus content toward collectively answering questions including: What is modern slavery?; Who is vulnerable?; Where is modern slavery?; and How do we end it? Workshops, brainstorming, and reflection exercises provide opportunities for small groups to break down these difficult concepts in a non-threatening, peer-to-peer environment.
