1) Essential Daily Tools for Peaceful Living Co-facilitator: Masankho Banda, international peace builder, educator, author While "peace" is on everyone's mind, how we can live in peace personally, nationally and globally is what we're all trying to figure out. This course and interactive workshop focuses on peace building in many vital parts of our society: How can we develop the tools to resolve conflict in our own lives, how can we build bridges of peace in our mass media, so focused on using violence as a means of attracting an audience, and how can we build peace in our workplaces, our schools and our country? Course instructors Masankho Banda and Kimberly Weichel have done peace building work in Africa, Europe, the former Soviet Union, United States and with the United Nations. |
