[SDCPJ] Peace Building Conference April 24-25

 

Join the San Diego Council of Hostelling International USA for

“Peace-ing Communities Together”

A Gathering for Emerging Leaders

 

In the midst of major world challenges, something profound is being reborn—a recognition that ordinary people with concern, vision and commitment can make significant contributions to changing the world.  And young people are at the precipice of this shift.

 

Join young adults (ages 18-30) from around San Diego and other parts of the United States for a gathering on April 24-25, 2009 for "Peace-ing Communities Together," the second annual Hostelling International-USA Peace Building Conference in San Diego.

 

This event will bring together a diverse community of young adults who share a passion for creating positive change.  Through interactive conversations and workshops, participants will discover their personal strengths, develop leadership skills, inspire others, and create an action plan for the future.  We will use cutting-edge leadership and facilitation techniques to engage and focus the participants with integrative tools for deep listening and quiet reflection.  If you are ready to embrace your leadership and become a committed, active citizen, do not miss out on this amazing opportunity!

 

The conference will be held as part of a weekend of peace building events, including a “World Café” dinner on Friday evening, keynote address by “creative activist” Joey Borgogna, and the San Diego City College Conference for Peace Education and Activism on Sunday.

Registration for the entire weekend is only $35 including all meals.
