Peacemaking from the inside out
In June 2013, Menno Simons College hosted the event, "Peacemaking from the Inside Out," which featured guest speaker Dr. Jay Rothman, an expert in the field of conflict resolution. His presentation is now available for viewing online.
A renowned scholar and practitioner in identity-based conflicts, Dr. Rothman has worked with diplomats, business executives, and community activists in mediating significant local, national, and international conflicts, and has been consulted by national leaders on ways to creatively engage deep conflicts.
Drawing on his experience working in the Middle East and around the world, Dr. Rothman shared his work in peacemaking and engaged the audience in the importance of encountering conflict as an opportunity for deepening self-awareness and improving relationships at home, in the community, and across the globe.
The event was co-sponsored by Arthur Mauro Centre for Peace and Justice, The Canadian Museum for Human Rights, Global College, Mediation Services, Mennonite Central Committee, and Project Peacemakers.
