Inspired by the late 13-year-old poet and peacemaker Mattie J.T. Stepanek, Three Dot Dash is a yearlong leadership and mentoring program that teaches teen leaders how to effectively "tell their stories" during the Just Peace Summit using various forms of media, current technology and distribution methods to gain media attention and public support. Three Dot Dash creates a sustainable worldwide network of individuals, corporations and nonprofit organizations to support GTLs and foster public participation around the globe. The 2008 and 2010 Three Dot Dash Just Peace Summits brought together GTLs from 22 countries on 5 continents to New York City. The 2011 Just Peace Summit will take place March 25 – April 1, 2011 in New York City. To find out more visit threedotdash.org
