Please join the Program in Peacebuilding and the Arts at Brandeis University in our first-ever weekend intensive on peacebuilding and the arts from April 1–3. It offers an opportunity for artists, cultural workers, peacebuilders, educators and policy-makers to join our community of practice, learn from exemplary projects, and think through their own work with tools and frameworks emerging from our collaboration with Theatre Without Borders.
The International Center for Ethics, Justice, and Public Life launches our documentary Acting Together on the World Stage, on Tuesday, April 12, at 4 p.m. Please join in the conversation and a reception celebrating the completion of this film, many years in the making.
