CONFLICT TRANSFORMATION AND LOVE FOR HEALING THE WORLD

Concepts like peace and love are often thought of in simplistic and idealistic abstractions. This session will instead present peace and love as brave, challenging, and multidimensional actions for healing. It will look at the importance of individual contribution to communal wellness, and it will explore conflict as an opportunity for understanding, solution building, and positive transformation. Therefore, Conflict Transformation and Love are the key instruments for combatting school violence and healing the World’s problems.
