Opportunities for peace and understanding.
Center for Peace Victoria desires to bring our community together for
meaningful conversation in creative ways.
Below are a few of those ways:
Free Public Deliberation Training!Baylor University's Public Deliberation Institute is hosting a one-day training for people interested in becoming facilitators in Public Deliberation. Remember, public deliberation differs from dialogue and debate in that participants in public deliberation not only try to find common ground but also try to arrive at some solutions. To aid this process, facilitators require more training than the Conversation Host training. Baylor is offering this certification workshop free of charge. The Center for Peace board has decided to extend this invitation to all of you! The details and link to register are below.
Saturday, September 14, 2019 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Diana R. Garland School of Social Work Baylor University 811 Washington Avenue Waco, TX TO REGISTER, CLICK HERE. |
