Peace, Policy, & Civic Engagement - A Two-Part Dialogue Series

Part Two: Peace, Global Security & the Citizen’s Role in Shaping a More Stable World

A collaborative and engaging dialogue bringing experts and everyday people to the same table.

As global threats escalate, what can everyday people do to make a difference? Is it enough to stay informed and engaged? As the second part to our series on Peace, Policy, & Civic Engagement, we explore the intimidating topics of global security, human rights, freedom, democracy, and more. This session is built around audience-driven dialogue. Ask the panel. Challenge assumptions. We ask some tough questions and encourage audience participation. Explore how civil society, activism, and engaged citizenship can shape the future of peace and security.
