If you or someone you know is a hardworking international peace activist who is in need of some time for rest and reflection, Avila University in Kansas City, Missouri (USA), is currently accepting applications for its Fall 2019 Activist-in-Residence program!
Every fall semester, the university’s Buchanan Initiative for Peace and Nonviolence hosts an Activist-in-Residence for eight to ten weeks (all expenses paid) to exchange knowledge and ideas about the promotion of positive peace and social justice in our communities and around the world.
