To honor Mahatma Gandhi's birthday, through a partnership with Weave Peace & Justice, the Euphrates Institute, Twin Cities Nonviolent and Pace e Bene, we are hosting an online presentation by international peace educator and founder of the Peace Literacy Institute, Paul K. Chappell. A West Point graduate and Iraq War veteran, Chappell believes that peace requires the same level of training as warfare, aiming to empower individuals to build a more peaceful and resilient world.
This workshop is designed to teach Peace Literacy as a vital skill set, essential for navigating the complex challenges of the 21st century. It begins with an introduction to the origins of Peace Literacy and then delves into two key presentations. The first presentation challenges Maslow’s hierarchy by introducing a new framework that identifies our nonphysical human needs, explores the impact of unmet needs, and highlights the importance of new skills for thriving in today’s world. The second presentation focuses on understanding aggression—its causes, anatomy, and alternatives—and offers practical Peace Literacy skills for healing and managing aggression. The workshop concludes with a Q&A session and information on upcoming opportunities with the Peace Literacy Institute.
