2010 INTERDEPENDENCE DAY EVENTS
Hexagon Project to have International Flair
Scranton, PA: The 4th Annual Hexagon Exhibit will open on Friday, September 3, 2010 at the MAC Gallery 123 Wyoming Avenue, Scranton, PA starting at 6:00 p.m. This will be our fourth exhibit, one of our most exciting exhibits, according to Beth Burkhauser, chairperson for the Hexagon Project.
This year’s exhibit of hexagons from countries around the world – over 400 – demonstrate deeper understandings of what a culture of interdependence looks like by middle school and high school students in a wide variety of media. Of particular interest, this exhibit demonstrates the true purpose of Global Interdependence: ACTION!

What is Interdependence Day?
Interdependence Day was launched in Philadelphia on September 12, 2003. The date was deliberately chosen as a post 9/11 symbol of regeneration, as a time to reflect on the tragedy of the incidents of terror, not only in the United States, but all over the world, and to ask ourselves "What next?" It seemed critically important to acknowledge the inevitability and significance of interdependence in our time, and set out to build constructively and culturally a global civic society.
