Identity. Diversity. Empathy. Awareness. Service. The IDEAS Club at the John F. Kennedy School in Berlin, Germany was born of the demand that in our time of crises, in our Age of Anxiety, when democracy is fragile, when intolerance is increasingly tolerated, we must intensify our efforts to create a safe but challenging space to discuss and celebrate diversity. IDEAS is about challenging stereotypes, grappling with our biases, and tackling tough issues.
Charlotte is joined by self-defense coach Gerry Fernandez and Feminist Initiative members Naomi and Iona to discuss the importance of self-defense for young women. Together, they explore confidence, personal safety, situational awareness, and how self-defense training can empower young people both physically and mentally.

Screen Time on Trial: The JFK EMD Policy
Charlotte HATES the JFKS EMD policy! So she picked some friends, then picked a fight with Mr. Rubloff...because Mr. Lazar didn't want to publicly defeat, then wipe the floor with Charlotte & Co. :-)
