Educate, Inspire, Act Series
PeaceJam's founders, Dawn Engle and Ivan Suvanijeff "are convinced that average, ordinary people can tackle the toughest issues facing humanity."
Join us for this monthly series as we learn together and put that into action. We'll tackle PeaceJam's 10 Global Call to Action issues, with a new topic each month on the third Thursday from 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm EST.
Hosted by PeaceJam Great Lakes, the series is aimed at high school and college-aged youth. It will provide information about each topic, lift up stories from Nobel Peace Prize Laureates, and allow you to engage with peers on PeaceJam's Global Action areas. You'll leave with a challenge to take some steps, both internally and externally, that will make changing the world feel achievable.
Last month, we learned about Conflict Resolution in our community, highlighted the stories from the Dalai Lama and Mairead Corrigan Maguire, heard from phenomenal guest speakers, and made a plan for action! Next up, we'll meet to discuss the work of 2014 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Kailash Satyarthi in an equally exciting session. We can't wait to see you there!
