2019 Peace Conference: The Forum

Reaching Across the Divides

What Separates Us and What Brings Us Together

The 2019 Peace Conference offers a path for healing and authentic peace-building. Through dialogue, panel speakers, and art, the conference explores into effectively bridging the deep divide in our societies, locally and globally.

The conference offers a space of inquiry into exploring how everyday people can reach beyond polarization and focus on what can unite us, rather than what divides us. Participants will be empowered to recognize their vital role in shaping our world– simply by being the change they wish to see to create a sustainable peace.
