Peacemakers will talk about vocation
December 08, 2006
Through two days of workshop sessions, talks and panel discussions, the vocation of peacemaking will be unveiled on Jan. 12 and 13 in the University Center.
The event, “Local Strategies for Achieving Peace: Concepts and Cases,” will feature peace practitioners from several countries explaining their commitment to a life of peacemaking. The discussions will focus on practical strategies and the personal experiences of those working in the field.
In addition, sessions will cover peacemaking strategies such as dialoguing, collaborative problem solving, reconciliation conversations and youth activism. The sessions will include examples from Bosnia, the United States, Afghanistan, Guatemala, Namibia, Northern Ireland and Macedonia.
Presenters include Steiner Bryn of Nansen Dialogue Network; Dustin Washington of American Friends Service Committee; Maureen Hetherington of the Junction in Derry, Northern Ireland; and Bill Lincoln of the Conflict Resources, Research and Resolution Institute.
The event is sponsored by the political science and communications departments, Student Involvement and Leadership and the Wild Hope Project.
