What do you do AFTER you’re trained and certified as a peacebuilder? Spriha co-founded https://t.co/WTt3YQ6QEf to invite perspectives from young people. Now, 25+ teens work on the publication that’s been featured in the Charlotte Observer, Associated Press, and USA Today! 😀✌️👏

HS participants in our peacebuilding trainings know they get access to frameworks & tools typically covered in university. PROOF! Alum Maya Gavia shared a photo from her undergrad Anthropology of War and Peace class. Said she felt “extra-prepared.”

Sign in Birmingham, Alabama … The whole quote from MLK continues “When we rise to love on the agape level, we love men not because we like them, not because their attitudes and ways appeal to us, but we love them because god loves them.”

Safe enough for geese. Came upon this gas station in Birmingham, Alabama, where geese wander around, at peace, while busy drivers fill up.

In 8 years of NewGen Peacebuilders we’ve seen students increasingly put human rights and environmental rights at the top of their peacebuilding aspirations. The new book One Green Thing has fresh ideas for how we can all make a difference.

It was an exciting day the first time we delivered NewGen Peacebuilders training in South Sudan. Post-COVID, it’s looking like we’ll start up again a few months from now. Stay tuned . . .

Ouch. This sign in an urgent care clinic is an important but unfortunate reminder to keep calm . . . and keep the peace . . . please.

Synchronicity! Walked by this mural in Houston just before we made a presentation featuring young people who linked peacebuilding, hunger/food insecurity, 8 Pillars of Peace from @GlobPeaceIndex and the #UNSDGs.

So glad we visited this booth at the Rotary International Convention in Houston. INCREDIBLE project being done by young people in California to combat human trafficking in Vietnam. Talked lots about how to collaborate.
