Hi friends: I would appreciate if you could share information about our Peace-Building program March 4 - 6 with anyone who might be interested. I met Colin Craig last summer at an international conference on peace-building and I was very impressed. He is a profoundly committed, experienced peace-builder, although not at all naive about the difficulty of building a culture of peace in the realities of hatred, revenge and mistrust. He is also a great story-teller! Thanks for helping share information on this event, Wilf Bean Program Director Tatamagouche Centre ================================== Creating Peace in a Violent World: with Colin Craig, Corrymeela Community, Northern Ireland March 4 - 6, Fri 7 pm - Sun 1 pm During the violent clashes between Northern Ireland Protestants and Catholics in the 1960s and 70s, a group of both Protestant and Catholic peace-makers came together committed to creating a safe space for both sides to meet. They created Corrymeela, based in part on the celtic community of Iona, Scotland. Through many efforts and set-backs, including several deaths, the Corrymeela Christian Community developed a practice of working for peace within situations of violence. From these beginnings, the community of Corrymeela has become an international symbol of dedicated people working together to create spaces where both sides in a conflict can come together to develop a practice of reconciliation. Colin Craig is a long-term member of the Corrymeela community, having served as their director for many years. He now shares his vast experience around the world training peace-builders in other trouble-spots including Kosovo, Macedonia, Bosnia and Pakistan. Colin will be coming to Tatamagouche Centre March 4 - 6 to share stories and lessons-learned from his years of experience in peace-building. Find out more about Colin at www.tidestraining.org Joining Colin will be: Dr. Thomas Mark Turay, Coady International Institute and former Director of the Centre for Development and Peace, Makeni, Sierra Leone Kathryn Anderson, author, Weaving Relationships: Canada - Guatemala Solidarity, and coordinator Guatemala Breaking the Silence Network Wilf Bean, Tatamagouche Centre Program Director Cost: $235 ~ Bursaries Available Contact the Registrar, Tatamagouche Centre 1-800-218-2220 ~ www.tatacentre.ca ____________________________________________________________________________ Did a friend forward this to you?
