Conference "Living with fragile identities"

Feb 29- Mar 3, 2024

Join us at LCC International University in Klaipėda, Lithuania for this European peace conference from February 29 to March 3, 2024. We'll explore victimhood, violence, and breaking patterns of hopelessness, with a focus on using language for both violence and reconciliation. Workshops will delve into nonviolent communication, peace theology, and trauma healing. An evening theater performance will prompt self-reflection in a fractured world. Join us to discuss ways to bridge divides and create a more hopeful future.
