> Becoming A Peacemaker
> A Conference and A Workshop
>
> The Fairbanks North Star Borough School District and Alaska Dispute
> Settlement Association are co-sponsoring a conference for peacemakers in
> Alaska.
>
> Peacemaking can mean many things.
>
> Some peacemakers focus on issues that must be resolved before reaching a
> lasting peace.
>
> Some peacemakers focus on processes that help foster peace.  Any process
> that is voluntary and helps people understand each other can be a
> peacemaking process.
>
> Some peacemakers focus on their own inner peace as a means of
> contributing to peace in the world.
>
> Some peacemakers integrate these three ways of peacemaking and create
> new understandings that inspire us all.
>
> What does peacemaking mean to you?
>
> Our goal is to provide an opportunity for youth and adult peacemakers to
> network, share ideas, and build peacemaking skills.
>
> You're invited.  We hope you'll join us.

> well as those searching for peaceable ways to resolve specific kinds of
> conflicts. Any issue or opportunity that you see as important to peace
> and peacemaking in families, schools, communities, and cultures will be
> fair game for discussion.  Be prepared to raise your own most important
> questions and to be surprised by the open agenda and specific responses

> About the Conference and Workshop
>
> The conference will be held using a process called Open Space Technology
> (OST).  OST is itself a peacemaking process that supports learning and
> deep understanding within groups of people.
>
> The workshop will provide opportunities for participants to learn how to
> use OST in classrooms, workplaces, and community forums to address all
> kinds of issues.
>
> Three Open Space practitioners will facilitate the conference and
> workshop.  They are:
>
> Chris Corrigan, Bowen Island, BC works primarily with First Nations and
> Aboriginal organizations in Canada.  He uses OST as his preferred method
> of facilitating community and organizational development.  See
> chriscorrigan.com
>
> Michael Herman, Chicago, IL facilitates OST meetings for youth,
> community and corporate groups, leads OST training programs, and
> maintains two websites: michaelherman.com & openspaceworld.org
>
> Judi Richardson, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia specializes in facilitation
> process and design, organizational development, and peace education.
> She is a learning facilitator and mediator with the League of Peaceful
> Schools (grades 4 - 12), where she teaches peer mediation. Her website
> is located at www.ponoconsultants.com
