12th Annual Peacemaker Awards Celebration

Julia is the featured workshop leader at Community Boards’ 12th Annual Peacemaker Awards Celebration. Her workshop is entitled New Narratives for Peace.

THE WORKSHOP: NEW NARRATIVES FOR PEACE
As mediators and people working to create more opportunities for dialogue and understanding, we can’t help but be very concerned about the extreme polarization here in the United States.

In her workshop, Julia will lead us through an evidence-based strategy for communicating more effectively about the importance and relevance of peace-building in the United States. She will begin by sharing her approach to Narrative Engagement and the results of new research in the field, and will reflect on the main lessons from her decades of international experience. Julia will engage us in a reflection on the natural tensions between peace-building and social justice during times of extreme polarization. She will share ideas on how we might better create space for collective action, even amongst “unlikely bedfellows.” Throughout the workshop, Julia will focus on how narrative engagement can be a tool to build support for peacebuilding and can address the democratic decline in the United States.
