If you work with youth, you might consider the upcoming Praxis Conference at George Mason University, August 18-19, 2017. Scholars, practitioners, social entrepreneurs, and leaders of religious communities will participate in a variety of panels that apply to many fields within the peacebuilding framework. The Praxis Conference creates a space for scholars, NGOs, businesses and social-justice minded individuals to connect and exchange knowledge and networks for the betterment of peacebuilding around the world.
I am conflict resolution educator, peacebuilding trainer and career coach. My professional experience has spanned the legal, think tank, international, quasi-government, and higher and secondary education sectors. I have taught at all higher education levels: community college, 4-year undergraduate (private, public, religious), graduate, and international. In 2003-2004 I was a U.S. Fulbright Scholar teaching at the University of Tartu in Estonia. From 2005 -2012 I was a senior program officer and senior manager at the U.S. Institute of Peace in Washington where I managed programs for colleges and universities and developed training for faculty and students. I work with all groups and educational institutions to support peacebuilding awareness.
