The CAF x CAF Head Fellows & Restorative Justice Fellows Team presents:

Peace-Making + Conflict Transformation Skill Building for Student Org Leaders led by JoAnne Cook

JoAnne Cook is a trainer and leader within the Indigenous Peacemaking Initiative housed under the Native American Rights Fund (NARF). Peacemaking can be most simply described as a process where people can talk together to resolve conflict. It is a community-based process that addresses the concerns of all interested parties. While it has been adapted to other circumstances such as Restorative Justice and other frameworks through mediation, and in state courts, tribal courts, and the justice systems. In indigenous communities the process uses traditional values and sometimes ceremonial practices.

For example, a circle can involve supporters, elders, and interested family and community members. Within similar RJ circles, people are encouraged to speak from the heart, and together to identify and agree upon the steps necessary for healing the relationships harmed by the conflict. In this session, participates will learn more about peacemaking to help support and using values building as a way to address in community conflicts. Peacemaking is not an alternative solution but a traditional way peoples have engaged in conflict and transformation.

Open to all students leaders regardless of identity! Limited spots available, RSVP required HERE.
