A Spring Smorgasbord of Skills & Stories
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought us to a rare and historic moment, one marked by dramatic and unexpected changes to our usual ways of life both at work and at home. In the community and around the world, we are seeing an inspiring outpouring of generosity, solidarity, cooperation, altruism, and concern for the common good.
In that spirit, the Mir Centre for Peace has created new streams of FREE online programming - skill-building, good news stories, and a book club - all weaving together our ever-present thoughts and cares about this moment with wider issues of justice and building cultures of peace. We hope you will join us for stimulating conversation, shared learning, and the warmth of human connection.
