May 15 Free Brown Bag Talk on “Cultivating Peacebuilding”
The non-profit Ku‘ikahi Mediation Center will host a free talk on May 15th as part of their “Finding Solutions, Growing Peace” Brown Bag Lunch Series. Talks are Third Thursdays from 12 noon to 1 pm via Zoom.
This month’s speaker is José Barzola on the topic “Cultivating Peacebuilding: Building Compassion and Empathy in Our Communities.”
“Cultivating peacebuilding refers to the process of actively fostering peace and conflict transformation within communities, societies, and global contexts,” says Barzola.
In this talk, we will cover both the individual and collective efforts necessary to create conditions where conflicts can be addressed constructively, differences can be managed respectfully, and long-term peace can be established.
Ku‘ikahi’s Brown Bag Lunch Series is free and open to the public. To get the Zoom link, contact Ku‘ikahi Mediation Center at (808) 935-7844 or visit hawaiimediation.org.
Ku‘ikahi Mediation Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
